The DH2 Beaver was just amazing! Yea it was slow, but it has a linger time over a search area grid like few other aircraft had. And it could land and take off in very tight places.

I grew up in Alaska... learned fly to in the CAP's Cadet Flight Training program. My instructors were a mix of experienced bush pilots, Airline and veteran military. All of them trained me to think in situation awareness. "Hey, you are fly an aircraft in one of the most challenging environments on the planet!"

well you carry the kit, but if the motor packs it in during a flight, you probably can't / aren't qualified to fix it. But lord knows you'd try.

If it throws a connecting rod or cracks a cylinder, well hopefully it's a radial with 13 cylinders and you can still fly.
