de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver seaplane

77.9k Cedy117  8.8 years ago

The de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver is a single-engined, high-wing, propeller-driven, STOL aircraft developed by de Havilland Canada, primarily known as a bush plane. It is used for cargo and passenger hauling, aerial application (crop dusting and aerial topdressing), and has been widely adopted by armed forces as a utility aircraft. The United States Army purchased several hundred; nine DHC-2s are still in service with the U.S. Air Force Auxiliary (Civil Air Patrol) for search and rescue. A Royal New Zealand Air Force Beaver supported Sir Edmund Hillary's expedition to the South Pole. Over 1,600 Beavers were produced until 1967 when the original line shut down.Due to its success, the Royal Canadian Mint commemorated the Beaver on a special edition Canadian quarter in November 1999. Since last time nobody seemed to find the link to the seaplane version i desided to realease it to the masses this time lol
