EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, an Oregon National Guard pilot proudly stands next to his de Havilland Canada L-20A Beaver aircraft, registration number 53-7951 (msn 770/1492), during the late 1950s. Delivered to the Oregon National Guard on 17 February 1955, this Beaver was a valuable addition to their fleet, providing essential transport and utility services. The L-20A Beaver, a versatile and iconic bush plane, was renowned for its short takeoff and landing capabilities, making it an ideal choice for the rugged terrain and challenging conditions often encountered in the Pacific Northwest. With its distinctive floatplane configuration, the Beaver was well-suited for amphibious operations, enabling it to take off and land on both water and land. The aircraft served the Oregon National Guard faithfully until it was disposed of to the Military Assistance and Sales Disposition Center (MASDC) on 14 February 1972. After a brief period in military storage, the Beaver was eventually sold in Canada and registered as C-GDAV on 10 March 1976, continuing its aviation journey in private hands. This photograph captures a moment in time when the Oregon National Guard's L-20A Beaver was a vital asset, embodying the spirit of dedication and service that defines the men and women of the National Guard. The enduring legacy of the de Havilland Canada L-20A Beaver continues to be celebrated by aviation enthusiasts and military personnel alike, as a testament to its remarkable capabilities and the important role it played in the history of aviation.
