Part of the Slate Falls Airways fleet, moored its home base on Sioux Lookout's Pelican Lake. Initially retained as a De Havilland Canada demonstrator from 1962 until 1978. Subsequently served with Austin Airways and then from 1980 with Ignace Airways. Eventually rebuilt after a 1987 crash into trees due to losing altitude on takeoff at McKenzie Lake, joined Slate Falls Airways in 1992. Converted to a Vazar Turbine Otter by Lakeland Aviation at Fort Frances over the winter of 2004-05. Transferred to Northern Edge Aviation of Sioux Lookout in 2023.
