Otter 193
Otter 193 was delivered to the Chilean Air Force, the Fuerza Aerea de Chile (FAC) on 30th May 1957, with serial 933. The FAC acquired five Otters for light transport and general utility duties and all five aircraft left Downsview together on 30th May '57 for the mammoth delivery flight south to Santiago, Chile. The Otters were normally operated from small rural airfields in the south of the country, as well as on Easter Island and in the Antarctic. 933 was deleted from the FAC inventory on 6th October 1962 as the result of a crash at Puerto Montt, Chile. It had 354 hours total time when it was destroyed in the crash.

"Ouch"! A bright future before her, extinguished in the "blink of an eye". "R.I.P."
