Fly the DHC-2 Beaver 

A beaver doing what it does best, playing about with water. I love the sense of the arrangement in the Beaver. The RPM and boost gauges right above the engine controls for easy reference when adjusting power settings. Even some modern aircraft are not as sensibly thought out.

Gorgeous beaver indeed, pristine even!! What a pleasure to fly that girl..!! Thanks

What a fantastic aircraft.

We have a few Beavers operating still here in Sydney Australia - they fly out from Rose Bay where the Clippers originated from to 'across the world.' Sadly, the tales from many of the older owners are not always written down. My joy has always been flying in a Gruman Widgeon. "Captain" Ladd who taught me so much, always said ... "A shower of spray and we're away". He also said... "A shower of oil, this flight did spoil"... I know my grown-up son was astounded the first time he heard a Spitfire. That same day the Hanna's - both father Ray and son Mark displayed a FW. I hear the Spitfire from Wanaka in which Tim had his close call is back in the air doing its thing and delighting a new generation. Your videos are fantastic, sadly the old lads, without these stories - fade from our memory. There was a sense of wickedness and irreverence within those rascals. So Dave .... Thank you, the more you create - the more the next generations can enjoy. Oh for string, paper tape and purple polish... and an oily rag! Good wishes

So fun thanks for posting

Oh you flying Canadians! Just love your videos. Greetings from Bergen, Norway 👍

Thanks, reminds me of my youte, at 87, I was with you on that ride. Gramps

Outstanding. Give our thanks to Mike for spending his money properly, on airplanes. He has our undying love for that from down here in the colonies!

Very cool. Nicely done.

Amazing video! Thanks for sharing!,,

Heh Dave! Wonderfull videos and fantastic music. I was born and raised in the Ottawa Valley and used to fly quite often in Bradley Airs Beaver Piloted by Ronnie Bowes. The video brings back so many fond memories of my childhood. Currently have a Cessna 150F that keeps me occupied here at YQT. Thanks again,

I WISH I COULD AFFORD ONE!

Great video! Thanks for the ride.

That looks terrific! Beaver & Canada.. Last time you were flying a hornet, I understand youve flown a Hurricane too.. I have to find that👍 Dave, you get to fly some interesting aircraft..if you come to the UK give me a shout.. Fly my CAP10

Beautiful

Outstanding!!!!!!!

is there a more distinctive engine note than a Beaver taking off from water? as iconically Canajun as a lonely loon, imho

I'm waiting until I can "fly" this in the new Microsoft Flight Simulator, it was one of my favourite aircraft to fly bush trips around BC in the previous Microsoft FSX so I am disappointed it wasn't a default aircraft in the new rendition of the sim.

I don’t think you’re allowed to say “We’re going on a beaver flight to do some touch and go’s” any more.

What kind of power are you holding on the decent to land...?

Suddenly I start questioning myself, what are the right of way rules on water again? And how do floatplanes have to interact with them? Presumably you have to follow them, outside of something like 'dont expect a plane to give way during takeoff or landing'

How the rich have fun. 🤨
