I just uploaded some more pics from my Ontario and Manitoba Experience two month ago on my flickr.com site. Please click "More Pictures / Mehr Fotos" on the right side of this page.

Also, yesterday I learned that the right Beaver on this Pic C-FNOT crashed only a few days ago, fortunately without fatalities but substantially damaging the plane ending up upside down in a forest.

I was actually trying to fly in one of these on the beautyful day when I took this picture at Red Lake, Ontario.

How many flights can you fit in an afternoon? I managed six: From Kenmore's Air Harbor to Lake Union in a piston Beaver and the next 5 legs with this Turbo Beaver -  the direct comparison is amazing. This one climbs like an elevator. The routing took me from Lake Union to Rosario and Deer Harbor (both on Orcas Island) and on to Roche Harbor than back to Downtown Seattle's Lake Union and on to Kenmore at Lake Washington. 

Thanks Craig and all the others at Kenmore for your hospitality!

As good as it gets!  Bessser gehts nicht: This is one of my rides for the day: a de Havilland Canada DHC-2 "Beaver" N72355 (the other one being N50KA a DHC-3 Otter) - and not just for a short hop. I flew from Kenmore Air Harbour to Rosario and on to Lopez Island and on to Lake Union. Even though this was probably my tenth trip to the San Juan Islands it still amazes me. The scenery is just breathtaking.

Back at Lake Union I had to change planes into the Otter for the short 8 min hop to Lake Washington.
