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.
