Re: Beaver Flying

Beaver resume is all straight floats in Alaska. (notwhithstanding some of that knee time that got mentioned) But, when I relocated to Arizona... and starting wearing my: BEAVER, BEST in the BUSH t shirt.... the lady pilots at the university (ERAU) all got huffy.
So, what's wrong with them !?!?!?!
Anyway, Bub.... you looked good in that machine.

Flying is dangerous. If you think otherwise, you are new at this sport. Mind the gravity not the gap.

Re: Beaver Flying

I got to take Bub to the idaho back country last summer, so glad he got the ride in the beaver. Visited him a week or so back. Thanks everyone for helping out. Cliff-propwash
