    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

A Bush Pilot's True Love Affair With His DHC-2 Beaver

This is a true story of a Canadian bush pilot's love affair with his de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver aircraft. The Beaver is a truly iconic Canadian aircraft, perhaps the best & most famous bush plane ever. The particular Beaver in this story was made in 1957, purchased by different owners in Canada & the USA over the years, & is still going strong. So many Beavers are still going - being restored, repaired & upgraded - so much so that it is referred to as the immortal Beaver. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.

I have flown in numerous Beavers over the years. I even washed a few when I was a teenager washing and gassing airplanes for flight time.

They are the pickup trucks of bush flying.
