Alaska based with the US Army as 55-3296 from 1956 - 73, this Otter was donated to the Fairbanks School District as a ground trainer. The University of Alaska acquired it in 1975 registered N90422 to operate for the Naval Arctic Research Laboratory. Donated to the yet to open Pioneer Air Museum in 1987, the aircraft was too tall to fit in the museum when it opened and the aircraft was traded for a Norseman in 1992. Sold to Kenmore Air, it was converted to a Vazar Turbine Otter. It has had several advertising schemes, with this one for the Emerald Queen Casino & Hotel being the latest.
