Delivered to West Coast Air Services on June 10, 1964, CF-WCA met a temporary end when it flipped during a water landing at Owen Bay, BC on July 16, 1974. No serious injuries occurred, but he aircraft remains were salvaged and stored for several years. Pictured finally undergoing a slow rebuilt at Pacific Aircraft Salvage, it would fly again in 1984. Sold as N77BA in June 1984, the bush plane is still current with Beluga Air in Homer, Alaska at the time of uploading. This is a different aircraft than the former US Army Beaver cn 1285 that was registered C-FWCA 1999 - 2016.
