Seen over Lake Spenard, heading towards Lake Hood on a Ketchum Air Service flight. Delivered new to the Union of Burma Air Force in 1961 as UB658. Served with Ketchum for a little over three years from the spring of 1990. Destroyed in an accident at Nikabuna Lake, Alaska, in August 1993. Engine power was lost in the climb out due to fuel starvation. A forced landing was made on a small pond, where the aircraft overran the water into woodland and caught fire.
