Originally delivered to the US Army as 56-410 in November 1957. Retired and stored by December 1972, it was sold surplus in 1976 and registered C-GDXY after a re-build. First flying with Rog Air Ltd 1980 - 99, later operators included Okeechobee Air Service (1990 - 97), Québec Adventure B.L. for a year, Air Bellevue (1998 - 2003) and a private owner. Bel-Air Laurentien Aviation (flying as Bel Air Aviation) acquired it in 2009. Pictured warming up before first flight of the day, a group sight-seeing tour around picturesque Lac à la Tortue, QC.
