DHC-2 Beaver

DHC-2 Beaver Floatplane DQ-GWW Fiji

This Beaver flies from Nadi out to the neighbouring Fiji islands on a frequent basis. We saw it three times in one day. It was a bit like something out of a movie, the bushplane alights and taxis up to the beautiful beach, the pilot jumps out in a Hawiian shirt and bare feet! The Beaver even had a race with a speedboat on one departure!
