Although within a batch of 185E, this was registered N4513F in Dec-1965 as an A185E. It is thought that this could have been the test aircraft for the A185E version. Delivered to Canada in Feb-1966 as CF-UGV but registered as a 185E. Somewhere between 1974 and 1985 it was reregistered C-FUGV. This was cancelled in Aug-1985. Between then and Nov-2016 when it was registered N520CB its history is unknown. As both before and after Canadian service the type was listed in the USA as A185E, it is thought that the Canadian 185E type is not correct.

This was allocated N4839F but this registration was not taken-up. Instead it was registered CF-UGQ in 1966. In May-1982 it was reregistered C-FUGQ and as such it is still current in 2022.

Built in 1964 as N5589T. This was cancelled in Apr-1964 when it became CF-PVI. Somewhere between 1974 and 1982 it was reregistered as C-FPVI and as such it is still current in 2022.

Built in 1966 it was allocated N1777F but this was not taken-up. It was registered CF-VBN in Sep-1966 and as such it is still current in 2022. If you know which operator is listed within the sticker, please let us know.

Shipped to Australia in Apr-1958 where it was registered VH-WAZ in Aug-1958 with Qantas Empire Airways. In Sep-1960 it was reregistered as VH-SBT with TAA-Trans Australia Airlines. In Aug-1968 it went to Canada to become CF-XRI. In Dec-1980 it was reregistered as C-FXRI.

N144Q was delivered in Mar-1961. It kept flying under the same registration, although it had two severe accidents, 08-Aug-1995 and 20-Sep-2002. Both times it was repaired. Around 1997 it was modified with a larger window behind the door, and by 2004 this was replaced by two large windows. As such it is still current in 2022.

CF-MPR was delivered in Sep-1956. In May-1981 it was reregistered as C-FMPR. By 2005 it had been converted with large windows behind the door, and is still current as such in 2022. It carries the RCMP crest on the fuselage.

This LA-4 was originally registered as N7607L. In 1968 it went to Canada where it was registered CF-XXU. This was cancelled in Jun-1984 on return to the USA as N58249. In Jul-1986 this was changed to N19AK. On 14-Jun-1998 it crashed on take-off from a river 10 miles NE of Saint Mary's, AK after a day of fishing. The pilot was distracted by two ducks in the aircraft's flight path, and when his attention turned to the take-off again, it was too late to avoid a stand of trees. It sustained substantial damage, but the pilot was not injured. Only in Jun-2013 the registration was cancelled.

Built in Mar-1947 as NC6326K, changing to N6326K in Jan-1949. In Aug-1949 it went to Canada as CF-GLP. Somewhere between 1972 and 1983 this became C-FGLP. In Aug-2004 this was cancelled as exported to the USA. By 2022 it hadn't been registered, so it was probably used as a source for spare parts.
