This late production Otter was delivered to the Tanzanian AF as JW9109 aboard an RCAF C-130 in 1967 and sold back to Canada in 1972. It joined Wings in 1993 and in 2004 underwent turbo conversion by Texas Turbine. Unlike the Harbour Air Otters converted by Vazar using the ubiquitous PT6A turboprop, the five Wings birds are TPE331 powered. Taken from cruise liner Celebrity Eclipse.
