First built in 1947, the DHC-2 Beaver is thought by many to be the ultimate Bushplane. 1692 were built in Downsview, Ontario ending production in 1967. Many Beavers are still earning their keep in the rugged north. The turbine powered prototype first flew in 1965. The DeHavilland Canada factory built 60  Mk.III Beavers powered by Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6 turbo-prop engines before production ceased. The Turbo Beavers had more power, greater speed, and larger load carrying capacity than the earlier Mk.I and Mk.II radial engined aircraft.

Model scheme: De Havilland Canada DHC-2 Mk.III Turbo Beaver, This Beaver was originally built as a radial-engined Mk.I Beaver and delivered to the US Army in 1956 with serial number 979. It flew with the Oregon National Guard. In 1984 it was acquired by the Pima Air and Space Museum where it was displayed until 2005. Disassembled and transported by truck to Sydney, BC Canada, it was converted to a Viking Turbo Beaver. She was named ‘Olivia’ after Olivia de Havilland, the actress whose initials are ODH.
