After landing on Red Lake, returning to Chimo's base dock on Howey Bay. Delivered new to the Province of Ontario in 1956 and served until 1984. Joined Chimo Air Service at Red Lake in 1997. Early in 2010 converted to a Vazar PT-6 powered Turbine Otter by Lakelands Aviation at Fort Frances, Ontario and returned to Chimo's fleet at Red Lake. Sold to Superior Airways in 2018, still at Red Lake. Suffered significant but salvageable storm damage while moored at its Red Lake dock in the autumn of 2019.
