In 2015 this Expeditor was sold by Vancouver Island Air and in June/July 2015 it was ferried on floats from Campbell River to the Pairi Daiza Gardens & Zoo theme park near the town of Brugelette, Belgium. Its flying days are over. It is the end of an era now as it is the last of the several Beech 18's that once operated at Campbell River. It was replaced with a turbine DHC-3 Otter.

The VIA Seawind, seen here taxiing on the Fraser River, was a one-off conversion by Vancouver Island Air, seen here docked at its Campbell River home base. It had increased seating for 12 pax, 3-bladed props, enlarged floats, an extended nose and a PAC Tradewind single tail. It first flew as such on 23 August 1994. Unfortunately on 20 April 2007 this unique aircraft crashed immediately after lift-off from Topaze Harbour near Jackson Bay, BC, Canada. One engine lost power and the aircraft yawed and crashed back onto the water, causing one float to break off. It sank within a minute.

The VIA Seawind was a one-off conversion by Vancouver Island Air, seen here docked at its Campbell River home base. It had increased seating for 12 pax, 3-bladed props, enlarged floats, an extended nose and a PAC Tradewind single tail. It first flew as such on 23 August 1994. Unfortunately on 20 April 2007 this unique aircraft crashed immediately after lift-off from Topaze Harbour near Jackson Bay, BC, Canada. One engine lost power and the aircraft yawed and crashed back onto the water, causing one float to break off. It sank within a minute.

Note this aircraft's nose extension which moves the engine about 23 or 30 cm (9 or 12 inches, depending on the version) further forward, so that more pax and load can safely be carried in the rear.
