I need a picture of the original beaver door hinges that allow removal of the main door. I want to fabricate the same for my sailboat. Can someone help me out and send me a pic or two? I saw this door and will copy it and put beaver door like hinges so I can have a few door options. Long live the be...

The reality of this type of flying is so much easier to accept when an incident is not so present. My deepest condolences and heart aching sympathies to the Pilot, her Colleagues, Ted, the community and the Families affected. Time will help to heal these wounds, it has before and it will again. Be p...

I was Chief Pilot for the better part of 3 years. Nothing shy of a fantastic little operation and a phenomenal overseas experience. I would be happy to vouch for them. I have moved on to another Asian Seaplane Operations simply for a change of scenery. Give me shout anytime, info@seaplaneconsulting....

Hi Everyone, David Radford here from Hai Au Aviation in Vietnam. I'm trying to bid on a survey project of considerable area & hours over 2 years. I never did work for the Fugro's or Sander's of the world so I'll be hiring a guy if we get the project. Would anyone be able to email me a sample contrac...

I couldn't find what I was looking for on previous threads, sorry if this is repetitive. Does anyone have any experience with instrument rating renewals overseas. I'm a DPE (designated pilot examiner in Vietnam) and have a pilot on a Canadian validation. If I do a check ride with him and/or he does ...

Could someone please help me identify what the markings on the propeller mean.

I assume the three small stamps on the hub are ame stamps from inspections?

Nov. 42 seems self explanatory? 1942 construction

Am I correct?

and what would D.6.33P4-42 LL 4699

Thanks in advance.

David Radford

One of the best drivers / instructors in the industry!! So glad everyone is safe.

Fortunate to have met Dave a few times flying in the Nahanni. So unfortunate about his family's loss. From what I gather from this oak, he'll prevail.

Nahanni national park reserve / cfv5
Fort Simpson, Nt / cez7
Yellowknife, NT / cen9

Download the waterdrome app for some exploring.

Hit me with a pm for more info. Just google nahanni national park and virginia falls. I think you'll have found your two weeker.

Just found this on seaplane market.com

Anyone know anymore re: Canadian drivers there or needed?

Dave

Slats & '97 tercel, did you guys work for WFBP? I'm headed back for season 4. Nahanni inn, ice breaker (currently banned), betsaka, not to fail to mention the sick spots we pop in and out of in the park, oh and beers with deadly teddy of course. What's your stories?

Well done to our Neighbours in the North West. One of the best I've seen yet!

I've been living here for three years. Oh, the stories.....

Bueller, Bueller, Bueller....anyone hear back other than the standard reply many of us got? or of progresssion in this start up. I think I've got a new seat in Canada this year but bored today and curious.

As a fellow NB'er now living and flying floats in the North I dream of someday coming back and setting up a course / float charter but for the time being I would firstly suggest you go west as future work will require you to know the coast, mountains, swells, etc... that guys like Dave Budd at www.o...

Towns with Fort eh? Flying in fantastic places that allow you to live in fantastic places. If the Nahanni moutains, Virginia Falls, Cirque of Unclimbables, prime hunting and pickeral fishing were right outside a place that didn't start with Fort, you'd be making a hell of a lot more radio calls then...

Unfortunate to hear of this accident. I actually ferried the new Beaver to Alpine Air a few weeks prior and did a dolley launch out of Fort Nelson, BC to get to whitehorse. It was my first dolley launch and the wise advice of my boss to put the sleeping bag from the back of the cabin under my ass so...

looks like you might be right on the money. If so, anyone been to that part of the world? To relocate permanently being a ticket with the job ad, curious what it would be like for xpats.

Thanks HighSea

The job posting that came out today says, Company TBA. Anyone got the goods on who, where, what this is all about?

Definitely of interest this time of year now that both our floatplanes are out of the water.

Eventually. I've been flying floats for Simpson Air into the Nahanni National Park Reserve for he past two seasons and have lots of great footage but waiting for some time to put it together and throw it out there. Now that I'm in Canada, there's also a little worry about those guys with the sloping...

Echo Echo Echo, can't say enough about Dave's outfit!!

I think there's a pretty good facebook page as well if you want to check that out!

Anyone going or better yet Flying down and need company on the return to Canada?

I'll be there especially for the floatplanes on the 29th. Pm me if you are going.

Dave

I just finished the season flying floats in the NWT out of Simpson and it topped Africa but there really is nothing like being in your own country. Will do some vidoes next season now that I'm comfortable with the terrain and job. Thanks for the encouragement!! As for the police clearance, it's a re...

I work there now but on a temporary leave for the winter. Wow I was "betsaka'd" last weekend.

I'll most likely work there for ever. As long as the crew trailer stays standing, I'm coming back.

Drinks on Ted.

Some of us have flown there. This is the worse yet.
