Photo Comment

Trans-Provincial acquired this Otter in 1970. Bought by Air BC in 1981, TPA would operate separately, flying with Air BC colors and TPA titles. In 1988 TPA became independent, changing their color scheme by reversing the red and blue colors on their aircraft. The airline ceased flying in 1993 and C-FKLC moved to Quebec, converted to a Vazar Turbine Otter circa 2003. In 2006 it was damaged in a ground collision. While being moved by helicopter, the aircraft detached from the sling. The wreck has changed hands several times and remains stored outside in Laval, QC as late as September 2022.
