This 1969 Twin Otter was originally leased to Executive Airlines as N385EX. It was one of several Executive Twin Otters acquired by Air New England after Executive ceased flying in December 1973. Air New England did not survive the 1981 Air Traffic Controller strike and shut down in the summer of 1981. Scenic Airlines bought the aircraft (that had been stored at Marana, AZ) in 1982 and converted it to a Vistaliner for Grand Canyon tours. Scenic Airlines was bought by the Papillon group, which owns Grand Canyon Airlines in 2007. The two airlines merged operating certificates April 30, 2009.
