The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador owns five CL415s for aerial fire fighting and two King Air B300/B300Cs for air ambulance patient transfers. The hull of this aircraft was substantially damaged while making its sixth scoop from Whitehead Pond, NL on September 15, 2018 when it struck some hidden rocks at high speed. The damaged aircraft was flown back to Gander Airport and grounded. The aircraft has been out of service for six fire seasons (as of 2024). DHC has made a proposal to the Government to repair C-FOFI and upgrade the four operational CL415s. It's become a political issue.

Tanker 703 is being readied for the flight to its new owner in the US.

Former Buffalo Airways PBY C-FOFI was added to the Hans Lauridsen collection in 2005, arriving at Glendale Airport on delivery on 5 October 2005. It was assigned registration N343CV in February 2005, but this was not taken up and it was delivered as C-FOFI. It was eventually registered as N413PB a few months after this photo was taken, in October 2007. The aircraft is seen here undergoing restoration on the ramp, before being moved to Buckeye, AZ in late 2011/early 2012.
