    I have flown the Beaver on wheels, floats, and amphibs; it’s a great old bird that makes you smile😀

    This is an excellent video. I love how you have researched some of the less known facts too. 🇨🇦👍 "whats the competition? A dog sled? Ok...make it faster than a dogsled!"

    A great hilltop to watch the Kenmore Beavers traverse from Lk Washington to Puget Sound is the Seattle suburb of Mountlake Terrace.
    I grew up there and the neighborhood seemed to always ring with that Pratt and Whitney radial because there was always one flying over.
    Good times.

    When the Beaver was in design and the company surveyed bush pilots to list the specs for their dream bush plane, de Havilland, after analyzing the responses was said to have said; "What they want is a pick-up truck with wings"....so that's what he gave them.

      The beaver chewed down enough trees to let them escape Alaska and get to Canada? 😁 Just joking. 🤣

      de Havilland Aircraft Canada Company was eventually bought out by Bombardier Canada Inc. (The inventor and manufacturer of the snowmobile, who also produced; business jets, buses, streetcars and light rail trains) and with the stroke of a pen, the new CEO killed the manufacture of the Beaver, believing that the money was in business jets.

    The red plane at 9:17 was a DHC Otter, not a Beaver.
