Skiplanes & Seaplanes | Beautiful Beaver on Floats The Oshkosh Seaplane Base provides quiet water for this Beaver. And after an afternoon at Oshkosh, it provides a very low key place to kick back for its pilot.
The Back Story The De Havilland Beaver may be the best bush plane ever to put on a pair of floats. It certainly captures the attention and the imagination of many pilots. This pilot can imagine flying along an Alaskan river or road in a valley between 14 thousand foot glacier mountains in a Beaver. 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. For more information, see Oshkosh Seaplane Base | a 7 Image Story.

Skiplanes & Seaplanes | Seaplane Base Arrival This beautiful de Havilland DHC-2 Beaver on floats makes its grand arrival at the seaplane base during Air Adventure. For a float plane pilot, getting a tow to the dock is the lap of luxury. Pilots land and takeoff outside the seaplane base cove, but still in protected water leading into Lake Winnebago. For more on the seaplane base, see Oshkosh Seaplane Base | a 7 Image Story.
The Back Story The seaplane base is very low key and a nice place to kick back after an afternoon on the Oshkosh flight line. Sometimes, it help to just hang around and wait for a good image to come floating by.
