The G-CAUZ replaced the Queen of the Yukon which crashed May 5th, 1928 and was wrecked, as a new Ryan could not be purchased on such short notice. The Alexander Eaglerock was an open-cockpit, 3 passenger plane. Christened the "Northern Light", the aircraft lasted 13 months with Yukon Airways and Exploration Company Limited, before being wrecked in a crash at Coalmine Lake near Carmacks on November 29, 1929.
Pilot John M. Patterson joined Yukon Airways in 1928 when he ferried the "Northern Light" from Colorado to Mayo and stayed to fly the aircraft until delivery could be taken of the second Ryan.
