Otter number 300 was delivered to the Indonesian Air Force (T-202) on November 27, 1959. It flew with Merpati Nusantara from 1962 (and registered PK-NUF in January 1969). Registered PK-VOM to Dirgantara Air Service, the aircraft was returned to the Air Force in 1980, sold in Canada (C-FOSM) and apparently stored. A Vazar turbine conversion and re-build started in 1994, rolling out as N79JJ in 1997 for Prof Fate Inc (a James Jannard company who also owned Oakley Inc, maker of designer sunglasses). Pictured with Kenmore Air (registered in December 2022) in the previous owner's color scheme.

Flew with Bearskin Lake Air Service from 1980 until blown into the bush by windstorm while undergoing maintenance in 1986. Bought and rebuilt by Allen Airways. In 1996 joined Selkirk Air and was converted to Polish PZL-100 power. Note that in this shot it is fitted, unusually for a PZL, with a three-bladed propeller possibly from a DC-3. Joined Bald Mountain Air Service of Homer, AK in 2008 as N413JP. Then to a Garrett powered Texas Turbine in 2011.

The previous registration N511BW was displayed on the data plate riveted to the aircraft's instrument panel. The aircraft is still shown as current on the online NZ register at the time of posting.

After a crash in August 1999 (a take-off without flaps), Kenmore Air bought the wreckage and contracted a rebuild as N707KA, entering service with large scenic windows in 2002.
