With Serial G309, this Otter was one of a dozen with the Ghana Air Force in 1962. Sold in 1973, rebuilt 1976 for to Skycraft Air Transport the next year. It was leased to LaRonge Aviation in 1978 and Aldair Aviation in 1979. Financial problems at Aldair saw the aircraft repossessed in 1982 when pictured. It was converted to a Vazar Turbine Otter in 2003. After a hard landing with Alkan Air on July 2, 2014, it was damaged in the resulting ground loop and declared a write-off. Acquired by Harbour for possible rebuilding, it remains stored awaiting repair or parting out at Vancouver, BC.
