Default A ride in a Beaver float plane

While in Vancouver recently I had a flight in a radial Beaver float plane and made a video from the right hand seat. You can have a look here if interested [link=http://rcalbum.rchomepage.com/Home.html]Beaver video[/link]. Just click on the picture. This plane, production number 118, was manufactured in 1953 for the US Army. If you Google 'Beaver C-FGQZ', there will be a number of hits with pictures as [link=http://www.airliners.net/search/photo.search?regsearch=C-FGQZ&distinct_entry=true]Here[/link]

Turn your speakers on to hear the wonderful radial rumble.


The terminal at Coal Harbour is a great place to watch float planes with Turbo Otters, Twin Otters and Beavers coming and going seemingly by the minute.
