Built in 2017, ex N195KQ, JA05GB, N195KQ. This aircraft was test flown as N195KQ, then registered in Japan as JA05GB in March 2017, delivered to Sky Trek. Setouchi Holdings, which owns Quest Aircraft, (the manufacturer of the Kodiak) formed SkyTrek in 2016 and ordered 20 Kodiaks. In August 2017, Sky Trek started services as Japan’s first members-only business aircraft operation. In October 2018, WA-based Airflite was appointed by Quest as the exclusive sales representative for the Kodiak in Australia and New Zealand. JA05GB was cancelled in January 2019, re-acquired by Quest Aircraft, and registered again as N195KQ. It visited a number of airports in Australia as part of a demonstration tour and was delivered to Airflite at Jandakot on 19 March 2019. It was sold to Jean J Bely in February 2020 and repainted in this killer whale livery. Photo © David Eyre.
