About the De Havilland DHC-2 Beaver
The De Havilland DHC-2 Beaver is the iconic single-engine bush plane — a rugged, high-wing STOL utility aircraft that has flown wheels, floats and skis into the world's most remote places since 1947. Originally powered by the Pratt & Whitney R-985 radial, many now fly as **Turbo Beavers** with PT6 or Walker turbine conversions that transform performance. Beloved, durable and famously hold their value, the Beaver is the benchmark against which all bush planes are measured.
