Replacing an earlier scanned 6"x4" print with a better version 29-Sep-21 (DeNoise AI).
Those PT6A turboprop engines look really tiny with the cowlings off!
First flown with the Short Brothers test registration G-BHYM, this aircraft was delivered to Crown Airways (USA) as N141CN in Aug-80. It was sold to a lessor in Sep-85 and leased back to Crown Airways.
The aircraft was returned to the lessor in Apr-89. It was stored until it was sold to Labrador Airways as C-FLAC in Mar-91. It was leased to CanAir Cargo in Feb-94. It was returned to Labrador Airways in Jan-98 and was sold to Skyway Enterprises Inc as N805SW in Sep-98.
The aircraft was damaged beyond repair when it undershot the runway by about 400 yards on landing at Du Bois, PA, USA after a cargo flight from Pittsburgh, PA. The nosewheel and left main landing gear separated and the underside of the fuselage was badly damaged. According to the crew, the No:1 engine torque surged during final approach which pulled the aircraft to the left.
Note: This registration has been re-used on a float equipped Cessna 208 of Seair based in BC, Canada
