This Otter was delivered to the US Army as 55-3264 in April 1956. One time support aircraft for the Golden Knights Parachute Team, it flew with the Civil Air Patrol (N5339G) 1976 - 79. Pictured leased to BC Yukon Air Service 1980 - 83, it went to Air North Charter. After a crash in a narrow pass on August 13, 1986, the aircraft was rebuilt in Kenora, ON. Returning to the air in 1994 with BC Yukon, it was sold to Black Sheep Aviation in 1997. Converted to turbine in 2002, the aircraft experienced a catastrophic in-flight breakup after loss of control for undetermined reasons on March 31, 2011 .
