This 1948 Beaver, still pretty much in it's original configuration, was registered to Armstrong Air Charter Service when pictured. Originally with pioneer DHC-2 operator the Province of Ontario's Department of Lands and Forests (CF-OBV) the aircraft went to Air Dale in 1964. Ignace Airways flew it 1996 - 1999 before going to Armstrong Air. The classic bushplane is still current on the register with Sapawe Air since 2015 servicing Kashabowie Outposts in Northern Ontario.

Big Sky Airlines took delivery of this Metro on September 19, 1980. The aircraft was re-possessed by Fairchild in 1990 and registered to General Aviation Services in November 1990. Leased to several airlines over the years it was bought for parts, exported to Canada and the registration cancelled in 2009.

Ex-N7801R. Later V2-ANU, 6Y-JSA, HI-950, N112NA, 8P-BDS

This Beaver was delivered to distributor Hawker De Havilland Australia in March 1964. Registered VH-IDM in July for Aerial Agriculture Pty, it did agricultural work for most of the next 34 years. Coming back to Canada in C-GEDE in March 1999, the floatplane has been owned by Nigaani Air president Arthur Esquaga since June 1999 and periodically, like here, leased to Nigaani Air. It has a small Nigaani Air logo on the door.

Built in 1944 and transferred to the RAF/RCAF. Here painted pale blue and white and later, while with Rainbow Airways of BC, it crashed on take-off from Quennell Lake/BC on 27 January 1992.

Registration cancelled 12-Mar-2008

Looking a bit tired since I last shot this DC-3 in 1973 (Photo ID: 198442) with ice shed by the propeller blades having stripped paint off the fuselage. It was exported as N9002Y in January 1987 and cancelled as expired in 2014.

Originally US Army 55-4593 , this Beaver went civil as N434GR with the Grand Rapids School of Bible and Music in 1974. Sold in Canada as C-GZBS in 1978, it's presently with Achigo Airways, owned and operated by Sachigo Lake First Nation.

This former US Army Beaver, 56-4403, was one of many picked up by B & M Aviation. Purchased in 1973, it was registered C-GDYT when bought by Orillia Air Services in 1976. Remaining in Ontario, the bush plane has been with Kabeelo Airways providing transportation to KaBeeLo Lodge & Resort locations since the summer of 1978.
