Re: What is it ?

That's a beautiful Bush Hawk XP built by the Found brothers from Parry Sound ontario.... the original idea was to find something to not quite replace the Beaver but to be similar...its a great aircraft and suits many but few have got rid of theirs for the simple fact that the could haul bigger slightly heavier pieces in the Beaver...but still an Outstanding performer... Many in the Yukon, Alaska, Ontario, Northwest Territories, etc..

Did your Uncle buy that one from Doug at AWA? It looks like the one he flew for a season. Total dog on floats!

Re: What is it ?

The Bush Hawk looks to be more suited for those short asphalt runways by the looks of its landing gear and its stance on the ground... :?:
