We saw Beech-18 on floats in four places during our trip to Red Lake-Oshkosh.

Of course, an encounter with the first one was very exciting. We met it in Red Lake, and it belonged to Chimo Air, a local charter company. I took a nice opportunity to walk ‘half-around’ this antique bird, C-FHZA, - sure, that’s the way - you can only do half around it, - unless you have a boat, or just jump into the water to finish full ‘half-walk-half-swim around’ the docked floatplane

I could tell the plane was kept pretty busy: coming and going, bringing in and carrying away loads of fishermen and their gear.

Then the plane was busy doing rides for the Norseman Festival visitors. I took one too.

On our way back from Red Lake at one place where the Highway 105 crosses the Trout River on the bridge, we noticed a fishermen lodge, and a dock with a few planes moored. That was the second occasion of ’sighting the Beech-18′.
