Resplendent in special national colours, this is the oldest Otter still flying. As the third DHC-3 to come of the line in 1952, it was delivered in December to Arthur Fecteau, a veteran French Canadian bush pilot based in Senneterre, Québec. After eventually passing to Harbour Air, it entered their Vancouver airport facility in 2000 for turbine conversion, and despite its grand old age, with its modern avionics and power-plant it is one of the best equipped Otters still flying.
