    Constructed as a F-11.
    Designed and built in Montreal in 1946, by Fairchild Aircraft Ltd., the Husky was intended to replace the pre-war bush planes such as the Norseman and the Fokker. It incorporated many of the features suggested by bush operators, such as the rear loading door, which enabled it to handle long loads. Because of its large cabin area and low-powered engine, it was very easy to overload. The de Havilland Beaver aCo on the market at the same time aCo was so successful, that Husky production stopped after only 12 had been built.
