Built in 1954 as a CV340 for a corporate customer (as here) and never flew as an airliner. In 2006 it was converted to a water bomber for the Saskatchewan Government and became C-GSKJ. On 14 May 2006, at La Ronge/SK (CYVC), it crashed while flying training circuits after the LH engine autofeathered at low airspeed due to throttle mishandling.
