2019 July. Dehavilland DHC-2 Beaver float plane landing on Twin Lakes, Alaska. #3 of 5.

7/30/2019. Rust's Flying Service. DeHavilland DHC-2 Beaver float plane from Anchorage.
Captured the Beaver on approach to pick our party up at Windsong Wilderness Retreat, Twin Lakes Alaska. Never did get used to seeing these "birds" takeoff and land!

I never tire of watching videos of the Beaver. That is a fine example of the type.

So smooth, When you see a Pilot handle a floatplane like this, it seems like second nature. Of course being a Huge fan of the DHC-2 is a plus.

1 of Rust's flying service pilot's was a 747 freight captain. He said flying the DHC-2 was a dream!

Skylane, Your are correct, I've never been on a flight so textbook.

All you need for a good video. Perfect!

[@lng2519]

Jeremy, it was a life time adventure. Hope you get your shot!

Magnificent! Art in motion. Makes a guy want to pick up and become a bush pilot...So beautiful...

[@lng2519]

We enjoyed the in/out flights as much as our visit to Twin Lakes!

[@rogerhillberg7235]

Perfect

[@chippytwo7920]

wow.very nice

[@lng2519]

The pilot was an ex 747 cargo captain. We didn't feel the lake landing, a real pro.

I'm heading to the same place next week. Any last minute things one should know about staying at Windsong?

[@fabriziominoja7423]

What a wonderful world! Glassy water landing?

[@lng2519]

Thanks for the note, Fabrizio. Our touch down landing and takeoff were text book. We never felt the floats hit the water. These bush pilots are so professional! I'm so lucky to have vacationed in Alaska!
