PBJ taxiing out.
DHC-2 Serial Number 1613, C-FPBJ flew around the Campbell River airport yesterday. The flight was completely successful: there were no snags.
PBJ has been extensively refurbished, with new wiring, fuselage and control surface repairs, lots of new skins, overhauled R-985, new prop, Cleveland wheels and brakes, overhauled instruments, new glass, Alaska Door, Sealand Aviation Tip Tanks etc etc. Now all she needs is paint….
All smiles for the first flight

We thought it was time we ran a few pictures of the Aussie Beaver, VH-IDO. Becca said she isn’t really that short. She says she was crouching down.
