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.

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.
