Taxiing out from Victoria's Inner Harbour through the narrow connecting channel to depart from the more open water of the Outer Harbour. Built in 1960 for the Royal Canadian Air Force. Vazar turbine conversion for Harbour Air was carried out over the winter of 2002/03.

After landing in Victoria's Outer Harbour, taxiing through the narrow connecting channel into the Inner Harbour where the seaplane docks are located. Delivered new to the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1960 as 9402.

Enjoyed a great sightseeing ride on this Otter the day before the photo. It was first delivered to the RCAF in 1960 as 9402 and was eventually turbine-modified at Harbour Air's Vancouver airport facility over winter 2002/03, at which time their standard panoramic window conversion was also carried out. Between the yellow-trimmed Harbour Air scheme applied at that time and the current blue/yellow livery, it operated for a period in special Royal Roads University colours.

Former Royal Canadian Air Force Otter looks a little more sleek than when delivered in 1960. After RCAF service, the aircraft was sold via Crown Assets in 1982. Registered to Harbour Air in November 2002, it was converted to turbine before entering service in May 2003. Aeroflite Industries overhauled C-FHAA in the summer of 2013 and it emerged with this new color scheme featuring Victoria's local Royal Roads University.

Just placed on the ramp and ready to go. This Otter went to RCAF as 9402 in 1960. It would later become registered as C-GVMC, N357AS, C-GIWT and after turbinization to its present reg.

Making its mid-afternoon departure for Fantasy Island

One of ten turbine Otters in the Harbour Air fleet. A beautiful place to view seaplanes. The mountain formation to the left is called The Lions.

Now wearing a smart new livery which recognizes a university on Vancouver Island

The approach to Vancouver Harbour over Stanley Park is equally impressive from inside or outside of the aircraft.

This DC-8 freighter was delivered to Alitalia June 30, 1968. Withdrawn in June 1981 and stored at Marana, AZ, it would be leased out to several freight airlines over the next 30 years. Advance Air Charter leased it from October 1993 to August 1995 and was their sole aircraft. Last with Air Transport International, the aircraft was stored once again at Marana on January 30, 2013.
