This Piaggio P.139L-1 was assembled by Trecker Aircraft in Milwaukee and sold to Canada as CF-IZG in about 1957. Some sources say it became CF-PQD, possibly owned by the Quebec Gov't Lands & Forests Dept. To Oregon as N100W in 1966. To California as N1005P in 1973-1977. Crashed on takeoff from a lake near Stockton, CA on Oct 22, 1977. Wreck of N1005P next seen 32 years later north of Toronto, ON at Collingwood Airport (CNY3) in 2007 and Edenvale (CNV8) in 2008. Later sold (with amphibian behind) to the Barrie Paintball range located 20 km SW of Edenvale (at 8200 10th Line, Barrie, ON).
