A little history of this plane.

The design is from about 60 yrs ago and still services the west coast of British Columbia economically. The Beaver was instrumental in exploring the North of Canada.

On Saltspring we have service by three airlines all flying the Beaver. FZZJ is one of four planes owned by our local Salt Spring Air.

This is an example of having the design right the first time.
