This rare example of a Percival Pembroke is one of the few remaining. It has an interesting history flying for the Belgian Air Force (RM-9) as well as Air America (N5964) and was involved in drug smuggling operations during the Vietnam Air. This aircraft also spent time in South America were it too was allegedly running drugs between Honduras and the US. This is where it acquired the white and red paint scheme. It was then stored at the Anoka County-Blaine Airport in Minnesota until it made its way up to Canada.
