The remains of N13GA, including the fuselage, were later trucked down to the Aeroflite Industries hangar at Vancouver International Airport, arriving 31 March 1998. Here the fuselage was repaired and fitted with a turbine engine. Testing of the turbine engine at high power however caused damage, requiring repairs to be carried out. As at October 2002 the fuselage of the Otter was noted in a jig outside of the Aeroflite hangar at Vancouver. In the event, it was decided not to rebuild the aircraft, which was parted out. In February 2010 the rear fuselage of N13GA, together with the fuselage of Beaver serial 69, were noted on a truck, passing through Vernon, BC en route to Saskatoon. |
