DHC-2 BEAVER.
BUSH PLANE.
Official FDC
Canada 2022
New, Unaddressed
The DHC-2 Beaver is considered the best bush plane ever built.
The Engineering Centennial Board named the Beaver one of Canada's top ten engineering achievements of the 20th century.
Due to its short take-off and landing capability, flexibility to be fitted with wheels, floats or skis and its ability to carry up to nine passengers or bulk cargo,
it has been employed in forestry patrol, water-bombing, aerial photography, aerial fish stocking, crop dusting and cargo delivery.
It made its first flight on August 16, 1947. When production ended in 1968, de Havilland Canada had produced a total
of 1,692 Beavers (including 60 powered by turbines), delivered to 62 countries. It is still in use today.
