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.

This 1930 built aircraft is the oldest aircraft on the Canadian registry still flying. It was recently rebuilt and has a Kinner 160 HP engine. Only 203 were built and very few remain in an airworthy state. The aircraft was designed by Major Reuben Fleet. Operated by 250.
