Photo Comment

Previously N74947, West Coast bought this 1973 Navajo Chieftain from Piper Southwest in 1978. The aircraft was sold when Air West and West Coast Air merged in 1981. Remaining on the Canadian registry, G-GPOW later flew with Alak Air 1984 - 88, Sunwest Charters 1988 - 90 and last with Keystone Air Service. On June 11, 2002, it was destroyed after running out of fuel on a missed approach and crashing in a Winnipeg traffic intersection.
