I hope you do not call the pictured plane a beaver it is a de havilland otter with an uprated PZL polish engine and up rated propeller . very few on the planet and I also believe this one to be based in northwestern ontario in red lake

Of course I didn't. The video is about an Otter. I merely pointed out that the Beavers, a smaller aircraft, also had radials.

Went T.A.D. for a month or two on the U.S.S. Iowa. They lost their lead SM. Loved it. (SPOT LESS SHIP) Mount Whitney We took over leading SM was a COOKIE and we lead the drills weekly. Pissed them off. Operations officer loved it. Be more than happy to help out Ex-SKIVVY WAVER (SMC)

The CO when I was on her was Larry Sequist. He was later a local Democrat State Representative for our legislative district. He and I served on the Port Orchard Chamber of Commerce Military Affairs Committee a few years back. Great guy. The horrific #2 turret explosion happened during his relief's tenure in command. We had recurring problems with that turret while I was aboard.

Went ahead and made a reservation just in case, arriving on the 21st and departing Monday morning, 24th. I told the nice lady, who called me hon, that I was the oldest and rowdiest of the bunch so she put me next to the office so they can keep a close eye on me.

Looks to be about 2200 miles from Port Orchard. I have a big Triumph bike cover that I can throw over the bike at night on the way down so folks will at least think I riding a Triumph.

Was planning on showing up late afternoon Friday. If your riding through Thursday lets meet up. Figure your riding I-40 to Indian Nations 75 South. Exit is Henryetta. Easy ride from there. Might as well add a extra day. No sense in letting a bunch of white boys ride in Indian territory with out a escort.

Only time us Hillbillys got whacked out West was when Santa Ana had way more migrants than we had guns at the Alamo and we ain't forgot Shiite. Appalachians are to be feared and revered. Wink wink. What kind of food are y'all doing at this rendezvous ? Gila monsters on a spit with peyote ? Inquiring minds want to know ?

Gila monsters on a spit with peyote ?

If anybody doesn't like peyote, I'll eat yours.

I just stayed in a hotel in Martin County Kentucky this weekend ( far eastern part) and the coffee tasted like old socks. The breakfast was individually packaged nasty cake donuts. Dry county. Any kind of food establishments close at sundown. I asked a deputy just where the hotel was and they gave me directions. 2 minutes after I arrive, they did as well. Just wanted to make sure I got there ok they said. Advised me to park it by the office and lock it all up. I couldn't get hot water in the shower. The desk said let it run a while so I did, 5 minutes to get warm water. In the sink hot was on the right, cold on the left. They did have nice towels. About 30 miles from sanity. Apparently plenty of meth to be found but no cold beer unless you ride to West Virginia. I love my old Kentucky home. Is that like rural Oklahoma? There is a super max federal penitentiary smack dab in the middle of all this nothingness. I bet they show the movie Deliverance a lot inside to discourage escape attempts.

my bad... I misunderstood.. the beaver was and still is the king of floatplane all over the north american continent the otter was not as successful yet I never flew one beaver on floats nor skis and never saw one on wheels anywhere but I flew Beech-18 on floats and skis in the far north same engines as the beaver time 2
