This early Beaver was flown first by Ontario's Department of Lands and Forests as CF-OCJ from March 1949 to 1964. Since then it has been flying the coast of British Coloumbia with the likes of Powell Air, Air West, Air BC and Harbour Air. Acquired by Harbour Air in December 1984, the float plane was damage so badly in a 1998 landing accident that it did not take to the air again until 2010. Re-registered C-FFHA in 2016, it was the Beaver chosen for this special Canada sesquicentennial color scheme in 2017. The "Canada 150 " titles have been removed in 2018, but the colors fly on.
