Moored at its Selkirk Air base on the Red River. With the US Army from new in 1959 as 58-1700, until retirement in 1973. Became C-GCDX in 1974. Flew with Bearskin Lake Air Service from 1980 until blown into the bush by windstorm while undergoing maintenance in 1986. Bought and rebuilt by Allen Airways. In 1996 joined Selkirk Air and was converted to Polish PZL-100 power. Note that in this shot it is fitted, unusually for a PZL, with a three-bladed propeller possibly from a DC-3. Joined Bald Mountain Air Service of Homer, AK in 2008 as N413JP. Then to a Garrett powered Texas Turbine in 2011.
