Harbour Air's Turbo Otters and Beaver

On the southside of Canada'a Vancouver Airport is the sea plane base. Harbour Air was busy with its scheduled services. The airline also uses De Havilland Canada Twin Otters on their services but these only operate from the downtown Vancouver base rather than the airport

Is nothing sacred???

De Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beavers should have an earthy piston roar that is magical to the air.

Not so Harbour Air's De Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver C-FJOS, for this is Harbour Air's first ePlane prototype — an electrified de Havilland DHC-2 Beaver as seen at Vancouver on 3 July 2024.

Is nothing sacred???
