Anyone know of a good 18 with freight door for sale ( on wheels or with the gear)? Also looking for Twin Otter 100/200.

Try Walsten Air in Kenora for the Twin Otter

And Rusty Myers in Fort Francis for the 18

kenora air in kenora has (or had, its been a few years) a pretty low time b-18 on floats. I think they have the gear for it too.

Would that be TBX ?

Yeah, that was it. Not sure what the actual condition of it is now, though. I know it was only doing about 250 hrs a summer when I was in the area.

TBX was there again this summer for another summer tour after a year off the year before.

B 18 and twin otter are money losing ventures, unless you can find someone to skin an 18 and bust their can doing it - those days are gone, just a few old codgers around who are willing to take that on. An 18 has very little pax appeal, and liability insurance is pricey, not too mention finding the avgas. Oh well, hate to burst your bubble, have fun..

Bronson, when you worked on tbx in redditt were there still dinosours around?

I'm sure the people at Kenn Borek Air will agree with you that a -6 is a money losing venture...

Or any other -6 operator for that matter..

inside of a 100nm miles dhc6 makes sense outside of that
the grand caravan will do more IF fuel stops or cache's are few and far between. except for eskers really short ones!

the economics of maintenance and fuel ie 350 pd hr vs 600 + hr
gives the edge to the grd van yes the are scenerios that favour the dhc6
some previously mentioned .

the beech 18 on floats even cat would say that with 2 engines it is an air craft that when one quits -and those have quit on more than one occasion it will take you to the seen of the crash.

but for pure joy of the sound of the 985 radial on a clear may morning
the 18 is a good bird

I haven't seen a whole lot of grand caravans landing on 800' eskers.. Not too good on floats either..

Nouvel Air in Quebec http://www.nouvelair.ca/ had 3 B-18 for sell, not so long ago.
They might still be on the market and all were in pretty good shape.

The one that would fit your requirements is C-GJKA

yes and they were tastier than muscrats, which was our primary source of protien. I remember a restaurant of sorts in Reddit and thats all they served I think. Legion had real beer though
