Delivered to the US Army as 59-2210 in December 1959, this Otter was struck off strength in 1973. Bought by Laurentian Air Services, the aircraft was refurbished and put into service as C-GLAB in August 1974. It flew around the province of Ontario until 1981 when it moved to Quebec with Air Schefferville. It remained in Quebec with several other bush operators until acquired by Wilderness Air in May 2000. Based in Vermilion Bay, C-GLAB was converted to a Vazar Turbine Otter over the winter of 2007 / 08.
