Great link Doug, thanks. :)

The one of the BE-200 picking up water is amazing.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Thanks Doug, that's a fun site and good reading. It's to bad they don't open up a production run of about 500 more Beavers using the old specs. With todays CNC machines one could build those radials with much tighter tolerances, making them even more efficient I would think.

Thanks for the comment Larry and glad you enjoyed the site... ;)

There is talk of opening the Beaver and Otter lines again Steve as there is nothing built that can replace them... ;)

We also hear they are going to take the DeHavilland Caribou and replace the engines with a turbine I think...

Glad you liked the site... ;)
Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug
