The Beaver has become the gold standard for the bush flying with several hundred planes still in service across Alaska, Canada, and the Pacific Northwest.

Oshkosh Seaplane Base | a 7 Image Story
Oshkosh Seaplane Base | a 7 Image Story The Seaplane Base at the Oshkosh AirAdventure provides seaplanes calm waters to dock. It’s nestled in a picturesque cove of Lake Winnebago. Pilots and passenger can stay the day or pitch a tent and spend the night in quiet place far away from the hustle and bustle of the airshow. People often sit along the shore to watch the seaplanes land and takeoff. Sure, there are forums, workshops, and exhibitors related to seaplanes and amphibians. It’s just very low key and a great place to kick back after an afternoon on the Oshkosh flight line. A bus transports visitors between the AirVenture and the seaplane base.
