EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver aircraft with the registration number CF-AWA (msn 1430), belonging to Air West, in the late 1970s. The Beaver, a versatile and iconic bush plane, was manufactured by de Havilland Canada and first flew in 1947. Its distinctive design, featuring a large tail and floats, made it an ideal choice for short takeoff and landing in rugged, remote areas. The Beaver in this image appears in pristine condition, with its bright orange and white paint scheme contrasting against the lush green forest backdrop. The aircraft's powerful piston engines and large propellers are visible, ready to carry passengers or cargo to their destination. The Beaver's versatility is evident in its ability to be used for various purposes, including aerial surveying, firefighting, and search and rescue missions. Air West, the aircraft's former owner, was a Canadian airline that operated from the late 1960s to the early 1980s. Although the company is no longer in existence, the legacy of the de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver continues to live on as a symbol of Canadian aviation and a beloved aircraft among aviation enthusiasts. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Beaver and its ability to transport us back in time to an era of adventure and exploration. Whether it was used for personal travel, scientific research, or other purposes, the de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver remains an essential part of aviation history.
