Sitting abandoned on the North side of YXE is this former Norcanair (North Canada Air) Fairchild F-27J. Records show it crashed at Wollaston Lake Airport in 1982 and was "written off" although the reg was never officially canceled until 1990, long after the Time Air takeover which occurred in 1987. The aircraft somehow made its way back to Saskatoon and is now here in this state.

Former Pakistan Air Force and SAFE Air - Straits Air Freight Express Bristol Freighter was bought by Trans - Provincial Airlines in 1989 to service the Snip Gold mine in and out of Bronson Creek, BC. The aircraft was bought by Hawkair Aviation in 1994 after TPA's bankruptcy in 1993. On April 24, 1997 C-FTPA ground looped on landing at Bronson Creek, collapsing the right main gear and crushing the fuselage when it went into a ditch. Serviceable parts were removed and the remains buried on site.

After twelve years with the Royal Pakistan Air Force this Freighter did civil work in New Zealand and then Canada, where both its owners operated out of Terrace. Unfortunately the propliner was damaged beyond repair at the age of 44 when the right-hand landing gear collapsed on landing at Bronson Creek on 24 April 1997. [Nikon N8008S, Kodachrome 64]
