In April, I did the seaplane tour in on a DHC-2 beaver in Seattle. What a great plane!

The Beavers been My favorite aircraft after I saw the first one on Moosehead Lake Maine. It was a bit of a travesty they ha to make Olivia a turbo beaver, there's nothing like the sound of a P&W wasp over a remote lake.

Great restoration, it's just a shame they could not keep it as a radial engine!

While I love the turbo beaver and I understand why they had to make the vertical tail much bigger I always thought it was a pity that they couldn’t keep that beautiful characteristic elliptical rudder 😢

Why does Harrison Ford behave like he is held at gunpoint?
