Oshawa Airport
I took some pictures at Oshawa Airport last weekend. You can find them all here. The airport has a bunch of old classics hanging around.
oshawa_airport/DSCN0382This DC-3, and another that has the Bassler turboprop conversion (which was in the hangar with one engine off), are used to fly cargo down to research stations in the Antarctic. I beleive they also fly cargo for the local GM plant.
oshawa_airport/DSCN0383There are two AN-2s there. I don’t know what they are used for.
oshawa_airport/DSCN0391This is the other one.
oshawa_airport/DSCN0390A Beaver. On floats. It doesn’t get any better than this. Unless it were mine.

I think you missed your calling. You should have been an Alaska bush pilot in the ’30s. The beard alone is qualification enough.

Beavers are nice, but for my money an An-2 is better. The sheer guts of designing a biplane transporter after WWII…
