This photo-session took place on an excellent evening of November 5. Shortly after we checked in to the Radisson hotel my friend came to visit, and I suggested we would go and see ‘an interesting place’.

It seemed he liked an idea, and - as it turned, - the place too, so, we spent almost an hour around there, at the Frazer River float plane base well known as ‘Flying Beaver’.

It was exactly the time when all the aircraft, the float planes of a few operators such as ‘Harbour Air‘, ‘SEAir, and some others, were coming back home so that to be in before dark would fall.

Obviously, these operators do mostly ‘day, VFR stuff” on their schedules, so the planes were coming one after another at this sunset hour. They were forming a line, or, rather a circle, where they idly moved as they waited for a turn to be pulled out from the water.

It occurred to me, Beavers have remarkable maneuverability while on the water, the plane can accomplish the 180-turn with a minimal radius

Once this C-FFHQ slowed down to water-taxi speed, it turned virtually around its tail, and back-tracked to the ‘Flying Beaver’ terminal dock.

All operations were over by this hour.
