Behind the scenes building an airline. Gulf Air's C-GLCP is rolled into the shop for refurbishment and new paint. Entrepreneur Jim Pattison was merging ten float operators to form Air BC at the time, but would start to exit small float operations several years later to expand IFR regional flights with larger aircraft. Air BC sold C-GLCP in 1984 and the aircraft remained in British Columbia on floats. It's current with Harbour Air at the time of uploading, having been converted to a VazarTurbine Otter in 2005.
