Photo Comment

Delivered to the US Navy as bu 87735 in the closing days of WWII, this Goose was transferred to the Civil Aeronautics Administration in 1951 registered NC101. Pacific Western Airlines brought it to Canada in 1961. Trans Provincial Airlines acquired the aircraft when they took over PWA's light aircraft services in 1968. Damaged in an accident at Port Hardy, BC in 1994, the aircraft was rebuilt in 1997 and sold in the USA as N453T in 1998 (N21A after 1999). No further information after an accident while landing on the water at Marathon, FL on January 29, 2008.
