Thanks for sharing! I love the DeHavilland Beaver. What an awesome plane! We had one at the aviation mechanic's school that I attended and we had to do maintenance on it, restore parts of it, and get it up and running. There is nothing quite like the sound of a large rotary engine! Such a versatile plane, it reminds me of our Vanagon as the Jack of all trades of the sky. That copter is cool too. We live about a mile from a Boeing helicopter reconditioning center as well as an airport (Millville airport). I get the large, Chinooks flying overhead most of the day. Rattles the whole shop sometimes. Have a great Friday!
