Great link Doug, thanks. Smiley

The one of the BE-200 picking up water is amazing.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Thanks Doug, that's a fun site and good reading. It's to bad they don't open up a production run of about 500 more Beavers using the old specs. With todays CNC machines one could build those radials with much tighter tolerances, making them even more efficient I would think.

Flying with twins is a lot of fun..

Thanks for the comment Larry and glad you enjoyed the site... Wink

There is talk of opening the Beaver and Otter lines again Steve as there is nothing built that can replace them... Wink

We also hear they are going to take the DeHavilland Caribou and replace the engines with a turbine I think...

Glad you liked the site... Wink
 
Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug
