North Cariboo's only turbine Convair was first a 440 for Mokawk Airlines in 1958. It was converted to a Dart powered 640 by Spartan Aviation in 1967 and eventually registered in Canada as CF-PWO with Pacific Western Airlines in November 1971. Echo Bay Mines bought the aircraft in 1976 before North Cariboo got it in 1984. It was sold in the USA in 1986 to become N587CA flying freight for several airlines. Exported in 2015 and last seen at Saltillo, Mexico awaiting a new registration.

Delivered to CAAC July 31 1987, this A310 was transferred to China Eastern, one of several airlines formed to operate CAAC's domestic routes, in May 1988. Withdrawn and stored at Vancouver in May 1994 until placed with Air Afrique as TU-TAU in December. Next with Royal Aviation as C-GYRD in May 1997 and moved to Canada 3000 when the two merged in January 2001. September 11 was the main cause of the sudden failure of Canada 3000 and the Airbus was stored in Toronto in November. Stored several other places before flown to Cotswold airport in the UK and broken up in October 2003.

This was the first of three Convairliners operated by North Cariboo in the '80s. Bought in 1980, it would be joined by another CV440 and a 640. C-GRWW was sold to new operator Canada West Air in May 1986. That airline sold the aircraft in June 1989 as it moved to Convair 640s, but ceased trading in 1990.

This was the first of three Convairliners operated by North Cariboo in the '80s. Bought in 1980, it would be joined by another CV440 and a 640. C-GRWW was sold to new operator Canada West Air in May 1986. That airline sold the aircraft in June 1989 as it moved to Convair 640s, but ceased trading in 1990.

The RCMP Air Division operated this Beaver 1962 - 1984. The RCMP put their De Havilland Canada Beavers, Otters and Twin Otters to good use, but by the mid-80s when new aircraft were required, the production lines for those aircraft were closed down. The Beavers and Otters were gradually replaced by Cessna 208 Caravans. One Twin Otter remains today with others replaced by Pilatus PC-12s.
