Built circa 1982, this Mertoliner was registered N60TA and N30HE before coming to Canada in 1988 with cargo airline Jetall (C-FJTA). With Air Niagara Express 1995 - 97, the aircraft was sold to Sierra West Airlines as N8897Y. Leased to (and re-possessed from) Ibertrans Aereas, it was sold to Orca Airways registered C-FIOA in 2012. The small airline had it's Aircraft Operating Certificate cancelled in 2018 and C-FIOA was bought by SkyCare Air Ambulance for parts.
