Name: Helen Brennan Location: Referred by: Friend Comment: Nice Website. I don`t like to fly in jets but have had one opportunity to fly in a floater and loved it. Why did you chose to write a book on this particular plane?

Name: Jim Hansel Location: Beecher, Illinois Referred by: Just Surfed In Comment: This may be my second entry as I guessed you mystery photo about a week ago but never heard if I was correct so I thought that maybe my entry got lost in siber space. Anyway the photo is Howey Bay on Red Lake, in Red Lake Ontario Canada. The yellow plane in the photo is a Norseman owned by Chimo Air. The prop in the photo belongs to another Norseman flown by Viking Air. I travel to Red Lake yearly to Fish the great lakes about 80 miles north of there. Usually fly out with Chimo Air. Green Airways has a great collection of Beavers that also use Howey Bay. I do have a copy of the book and it is GREAT. I am not a pilot but love the float planes and enjoy the flight out to the fishing camp more than the fishing. Regards, Jim Hansel

Red Lake and the area around it is a float plane mecca, with the Beavers, otters, norsemen and twin Beeches. You have a very nice site, please add more photo's. I add to my collection each year when I travel to Red lake.

Name: Neil Phillips Location: Chiefland,Florida Referred by: Search Engine Comment: I was crewchief on a L-20 at Goose Air Force Base,Labrador in 1960 & 1961. We ran retractable ski's in the witer and pontoons in the summer.In the winter we flew from the base and in the summer we flew from the Beaver Docks on Goose Bay. We lived in cabins at the Beaver Docks. The Goose Air Defense Sector commander used the Beaver to visit the radar sites which were really in the boondocks. Even though Goose Air Base was an isolated base then I still have fond memories of the Beaver. I have a few pictures of it painted up in a very unofficial way. It was called the "Bubble Checker" because the radar sites looked like bubbles. I had a friend named Clay Hutchins who flew for Eastern Provincial Airways. Neil Phillips, Chiefland, Florida

Name: Ronald A. Zuck Location: North Bay, ON Referred by: Just Surfed In Comment: Good Morning I believe the mystery photograph was taken on Howey Bay, Red Lake, ON. I am a deHavilland compulisive possesive enthusiast as well as an amature photographer who has documented over 300 DHC-2 aircraft on film. This passion for Beavers has allowed me to make friends and contacts within the aviation industry that have been very helpful in prividing historic data on each machine I have captured on film. I look forward to meeting with you and comparing notes! Regards, Ron.

We flew people into fishing camp etc. We had the very first Beaver ever made and I had the pleasure of flying it. I think it's in a museum somewhere now. Mystery Photo Guess:Temagami Ontario
Name: Norm Knighton Location: Langley, B.C. Referred by: Search Engine Comment: Am thrilled to own #455 signed first edition of your spectacular book. I am 78 years old and am not a pilot but have flown Beavers for many years on Microsoft Flight Simulator mostly in the B.C. area. What a beautiful plane. Non like it in my humble opinion. My question is are you planning to do more books of the same to track all of the known Beavers as there are many here on the West Coast that are not listed in your present book? By the way, my neighbour across the street saw my book and told me that he had serviced CF-FHB, serial #1 many years ago. Small world. Thank you for compiling this wonderful book. Norm Knighton
