Aye Ess

From what I'm told you advanced the throttles in the argosy at the start of the take off and didn't touch them until TOD.

Following the Beaver theme:

Nicely done Piano Man, Beautiful !

Piano & terry.....BEEE-YOU-TEE_FUL.....you guys are surely professionals??

Dogimed....I'm not sure,but I hope an Argosy pilot might chime in with some details of that magnificent aeroplane.

Thanks Aye Ess. I am not a Pro Photographer! Just professional pilot with a photography hobby.

Terry,maybe you should start submitting piccys to Airliners.com or Jetphotos.com,because aviators everywhere would love to see your work.

There aren't many things sexier than a beaver on floats!

I rather like beaver.......:mad:

Bentleg.....anything here take your fancy?

Oh, sorry - wrong kind of beaver, huh?

Great picture, having spent some time in TNQ on the old float/Beaver I would like to see a cockpit view of this last one to see if I have logged any hours in her.

Flat beaver
 

Yes the Pilot Chief Galah :ok:

Costs nothing more to employ the good looking ones ;)

There should be a forum for Beaver Owners and their.......:oh:....with a photos thread like this one ;)

Especially when you're the owner (which she is) and have 18K hours.

Plenty more like that one too!

Nicest looking panel I've seen on a Beaver, didn't the one's out here have the throttle in the middle with the pitch on the left?

Great panel indeed, very clean.

You are 100% correct, some don't even have the same knobs... just ads to the character of the Beaver.

I'll try to upload some pics as soon as I can get flickr up and running.

er hem.

Piano man- please dont stop uploading them!

From what I understand, any Beaver with a middle pitch control was built for the US military. Any aircraft with the pitch on the left hand side were designed for civil use.

Jeez Forky - can't you tell the difference between a Beaver on Floats and beaver on floaties?

And for those who aren't radial fans:

Some of the earlies had coloured knobs, the AG one's were a fair mix of machinery with stuff straight from the factory and others from lotsa other places including ex military stuff. After a few years they had all sorts of parts with a few having U-6 wings with hard points. Most of the tip tanks were U-6 stuff. I think all the quadrants were converted in hanger 17 at Bankstown to be the same.

I'll bet it's the first thing you saw :E

Those gas turbine engines on the Coral Princess, in the background, sort of get my pulse racing !

Piano man, that first Caravan shot is fantastic!

Thanks mate!

:ok:

Right guys, these will be the last for a while!

Toughest job in the world, be the looks, Piano.

Going like a rocket hey :ok:

Jaba,
