Delivered to the Tanzanian Air Force in May 1966, this Otter actually went to Camp Borden, ON where the RCAF used it to train Tanzanian ground personnel. Crated for shipment to Tanzania by December 1969, the aircraft was instead returned to DHC for disposal. Sold to Athabaska Airways in 1971, the Otter is pictured shortly after being registered to Contact Charters on April 3, 1992. To Deh Cho Air in 1994, the aircraft crashed September 26, 1997 landing on a river. The rebuild in 1999 included a Valsan Turbine conversion, it is operated by K2 Aviation in Alaska at the time of uploading.
