  • Aircraft recovered back to Inuvik, where the owner of Reindeer Airways planned on converting the cockpit to a weatherproof cab for his boat. The conversion is not believed to have taken place. The remains were last reported in 1975.

Although the photo is heavily faded, it shows CF-OGG remained
relatively intact following its accident. (K. McTavish)


In this closer photo, the damage to the landing gear becomes apparent
as the main legs are bent backwards quiet a bit. (K. McTavish)
