Wonderful Crossfire and I can almost hear the wildlife as well.   :)

Always nice to see them without that PT6A bolted to the front of them.  ;)

Any chance you have a good old PW-R-1340 Otter there somewhere?   :)

Wow, that second to last shot really reminds me of an 80's series I used to love as a kid

I don't know if it was a Beaver they flew in the show ( it's in the scene briefly), but it sure takes me back! Gorgeous shot!

Good morning Crossfire... :)

If you get a chance can you post some shots of them.  I am also wondering are they on wheel/skis now and if so what is the chance of seeing them being put on floats.

Thanks in advance.... :)

Goodly afternoon all.... :)

That pole on the pilot's side of the aircraft is there for a reason.

Now if you are not a Canuck you probably would not know this but here in the colony bear hunting, deer and moose hunting is only two weeks in the fall of the year.

So when you taxi your trusty old bush plane into a fishing camp during off season and there happens to be a bear there fishing in your parking spot you float or paddle your bush plane up to him and smack him on the snout with the pole.

Yup those big bears will get out of your parking spot and fish elsewhere.  For a back up just in case the pole didn't work I use to carry a picture of the mother-in-law but that picture would scare the hair off the bear and you could get in trouble with game wardens and humane society folks.  

Yup that is the way us flying Canucks do it here in the colony folks.. ::)   ;D   ;)
