Photo Comment

Originally delivered to the Cuban Air Force as a piston Beaver and later converted to turbo-power with a Garrett engine instead of the PT6 used in other versions. This one, owned by the US Dept of Interior in Alaska, seems to be the only example. No wonder! Even though it out-performs the PT6 version, who would want such an ugly aircraft?
