Another magnificent rebuild to Turbo Beaver by Viking in Victoria. This Beaver was previously C-FPSM as a piston Beaver.

Looks nice in polished metal

Has just been repainted in new colors plus a beautiful new interior at Kal Air Repair. Now it is on its way back to Juneau Alaska.

This one has come from Port NcNeill on the Island.

After a brief stop for fuel, this Beaver is about to depart for its home at Vancouver South

Left landing gear failed on landing and a nasty ground loop resulted.

Recently added to the fleet

A classic, built in 1952

Details of the Beaver nose extension

Seen at Vernon, BC just after rebuild and nose extension. The Beaver was later registered as N6084 and located in Idaho.

This heli-logger from Vancouver Island is waiting for its next logging operation to begin. The rack in front houses an array of mirrors which aid the pilot in slinging operations.

The long nose version of the 310 looks great. Calgary based aircraft.

She has a new paint scheme since my last photograph at Vernon more than a year ago. Some heli-logging is the next assignment.

Freshly repainted and wearing a crudely applied registration. Possible sale pending

Probably off lease to Ookpik Aviation

This Beaver was rebuilt at Sealand at Campbell River and fitted with the Trace V8 Orenda engine of 600HP and a four blade composite reversing prop. Following certification in the US it then went to Val D'or Quebec for float certification. Possibly due to lack of interest in this conversion the program was dropped. The aircraft was de-registered and sold to a Canadian buyer. The engine was removed and it was transported back to Campbell River in a trailer. It remains un-registered. It will some day emerge as a Turbo Beaver, or perhaps will revert to its original R985 engine, but time will tell.
