Canada Day DHC-2 Beaver Floatplane Rides - JULY 1, 2024 - SOLD BY THE SEAT

Come celebrate Canada Day by taking a raven's eye view of Yellowknife onboard
one of our iconic Canadian designed and Canadian built DHC-2 Beaver floatplanes
from Yellowknife's Back Bay on Great Slave Lake.

We have put together a schedule of shorter flights over the city Yellowknife
for Canada day and opened these flights up to be sold by the seat for your
convenience so that individuals and smaller groups don’t need to charter the
entire aircraft.

You will need a time commitment of 35 minutes once you arrive at our
floatbase, you will be onboard the aircraft (dock to dock) for about 20-25
minutes and in the air over the city for about 15 minutes.

The Beaver floatplane provides passengers and onlookers a sense of
nostalgia for a point in time when Northern Canada was first being opened up
and discovered by aircraft. The Beaver was designed for flight in rugged and
remote areas.  It's short takeoff and landing (STOL) capabilities make it
ideal for areas normally only accessible by canoe or by foot. Designed and
built in Canada to operate on floats, skis, and wheels it is powered by a
reliable 450hp radial (round) engine that produces a very distinctive rumble.

The first production Beaver was delivered to the Ontario Department of
Lands and Forests, a design partner, in April 1948. Production ceased in 1967,
after approximately 1,700 Beavers had been built.  Hundreds of Beavers are
still flying today.  Its rugged
dependability and exceptional performance have made it a favourite with bush
pilots, passengers and operators for over 75 years.  The Beaver is considered by many to be the
best bush plane ever built. The demand for this ‘half-ton truck of the sky' is
still as strong as ever. The Beaver was named one of the top ten Canadian
engineering achievements of the 20th century. 
It has become iconic to plane spotters and has been commemorated on
currency and postage, and received recognition in artwork, photography and in
film.

Our pilots have a tight bond with the aircraft they fly and will be more
than happy to enhance your onboard experience by answering any questions you or
your guests may have throughout your ride.
