OMG it’s EZW in Red Lake! I flew that plane there in the early 90’s! I LOVE the Beaver. And the mighty Noorduyn…… Norseman Capital of the World!

[@falconeaterf15]

Do they still do the Norseman reunion?

[@maximilian762]

[@rockfishmiller]

If any plane can do it, it's the Beaver.

Boy that would have been a nice birthday present for me turning 23

In 63 i saw an Albatross overshoot the bay in Hopedale Labrador and hole the hull on the rocks. They waited for the bay to freeze and took off for Goose

Ein feines Fluggerät!

I think there are avid Beaver pilots out there capable of full vertical take offs just like a Huey, under the right conditions, and if there is a tip $ in it for them....

I flew in OCP IWNED BY IGNACE Airways BACK IN 1970 era. Also. CFBFT NORESEMAN THEY OWNED BACK THEN.

Lots of beaver time…floats, wheels, skis but I never did that.

[@falconeaterf15]

Seen guys fly off a trailer being towed by pick up truck. Whatever it takes I guess.

[@RandyBroderick]

Cool video! I had no idea you could do that without damaging the floats. The Beaver is a beautiful airplane

[@mothmagic1]

Nor did I though I did know about landing on grass if the floats were holed

[@keyjam9]

What horsepower does that plane have?

[@MichaelSmith-zh2px]

Pure horsepower

[@TexasDivorceAdvice]

"flies"

[@greghanson5696]

Is there anything a Beaver can't do!

[@Captndarty]

Fly high fly fast and not leak oil🤣

[@tedsmith6137]

Must be awkward to do an engine runup and mag drop check before takeoff!

[@CanadienWoodsman]

Why? If it is because you cant put brakes on, neither can you on water.

[@claudio743]

Just a Beaver....what else????

[@billmckelvey5003]

Nothing happens fast in a Beaver😁

[@maxj0930]

…except an 11-second takeoff roll…er…slide! Pure piloting.
