Big Jake1001 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I saw the filming of "6 Days and 7 Nights" in Hawaii with Harrison Ford flying a De Havilland Beaver. He now owns 1, and about 7-8 other planes. Just sayin' Big Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Back in the day when I was a drone, we printed the dash panel on a rebuild of a Beaver. They had one in the hanger down in Renton and my co worker was helping design the panels and labels. Quite a project. I rode down with him to take a look at it when it was almost complete. Very impressive rebuild. Looked like a new out the door airplane. Badger is not a pilot type however. He gets air sick just watching planes land.

Pack Saddle Slim, SASS #73122 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Rode in one a couple years ago in the Alaska bush. We were on a river bar one minute and the next thing I knew, we were in the air. It seemed like the darn thing only taxied a few feet and was up. Amazing!

I managed to grab it just before it slid out the door and plummeted to the jungle below. It would have made retirement possible for some lucky VC who found it. It would probably have ensured my early retirement as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
