The Beaver - Once Used on Some Air Services

The plane of the day award on Sunday at Tauranga went to DHC Beaver ZK-CKH




In the past Beavers have been used on some regular services...

The first was James Aviation which operated a Beaver from Tokoroa to Auckland...

Float Air Picton also ran a scheduled service from Picton to Porirua Harbour north of Wellington. I haven't done a profile on Float Air and their Flying Dolphin service yet but here are a couple of links to photos of their Beavers...

In addition to these regular service operations other operators have used Beavers for flightseeing
