DrewEckhardt 0 #2 July 27, 2008 QuoteGreat beaver shot!!! I like Beavers. For about a year I lived in Seattle in a 14th floor apartment in the North Eastern most high-rise downtown (you can see it out "Fraiser's" window and on some of the Grey's Anatomy introductions). The Beavers landing on Lake Union usually flew the base leg of their approach outside my window. I took my wife to Victoria Island for a weekend aniversary get-away by sea plane. Caught a turbine Otter out, and R985 powered Beaver back. Least hassle I've ever had travelling internationally. Show up at the terminal a half hour before the flight, the pilot decides every one is there so we can leave early, walk through customs on a dock in Canada with eight other passengers eh?

What did that cost? IIRC it ran about $250 for each round trip ticket in August, 2006. Fuel and the weak dollar probably mean it's more now; you can do a web search on Kenmore Air. They're the Beaver People. Parking at the terminal was free. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikeJD 0 #13 July 28, 2008 Quote Beaver too damn slow! ) Not the turbines. We had one (until it crashed last year ) that was a regular rocketship. Much loved and missed little aeroplane. The only real drawback was the tiny door, and even that was compensated for by rails and steps that let us put out 6 floaters at a time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
