12/22/2006. Remarks by Jack McKillop: "This aircraft was delivered to Trans-Canada Air Lines (TCA) of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, in July 1939 registered CF-TCO. It was sold to Photographic Survey Co. Ltd on October 23, 1947 and used by Kenting Aviation, Limited of Toronto, Ontario. Kenting Aviation was formed to operate aircraft on behalf of foreign countries in Canada who were ineligible to own or operate Candian registered aircraft without special and/or limiting permission. Photographic Survey Corp. was one the foreign companies. This aircraft was used for aerial photography and airborne electronic surveys.

This Super Electra belly landed at Aklavik, Northwest Terriotory, Canada, on August 15, 1959 but was subsequently repaired. A second accident occurred on July 24, 1960 when the landing gear retracted at Cambridge Bay, Northwest Territory but the aircraft was again repaired. It was donated to the AF Museum at Wright-Patterson AFB, Dayton, Ohio, and registered N14126 for the ferry flight to the USA. On May 7, 1971, the AF Museum loaned the aircraft to the Bradley Air Museum at Bradley International Airport (now New England Air Museum), Windsor Locks, Connecticut. A tornado struck the museum on October 3, 1979 and the aircraft was damaged; the USAF Museum officially transferred ownership of this Model 14 to Bradley on March 23, 1981. The aircraft was stored at the museum marked as CF-TCO.

This aircraft was re-registered N14126 and was sold to several individuals. Kermit Weeks of the Weeks Air Museum (now Fantasy of Flight) purchased it on June 13, 1993 and stored in a damaged condition it at his museum in Polk City, Florida. The registration is still current."

11/15/2004. Remarks by Roger Kirkpatrick: "I was a 19 year old student working for Kenting Aviation at Fox Main base and was in this crash - which was on our return from Resolute. We tried to go on to Frobisher where there were better facilities but it was socked in so we flew round Fox to burn off fuel before going in: it was a defining moment of my life!
