Re: Hawkesbury Seaplane Crash
No champ, no need to keep trying - I've got it right
Read Pollyana's post above, she gets it
You banging on about 'major airlines' is in your head only, because I never mentioned that. I said that there are airliners built in the 1960s that are in use today - 'major airlines' came from you
I bet you're an accountant or something like that
Hope this helps

There's no need to be nasty fella. I was merely picking you up on your bullshit.
Just to reiterate - you said:
'The DHC2 Beaver is an ultra-reliable machine'
The attached stats on this plane are not opinion - they are fact. So unless you have a perverted view of what constitutes as 'ultra-reliable,' then you're wrong.
https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase...hp?AcType=DHC2
You also stated that there a commercial airlines built in the 1960's flying daily today.
What I'm saying is - if that's the case, it's more than likely they're not one you'd want to be flying on e.g we're not referring to Qantas, BA, United, Qatar, Sinagapore Airlines, Emirates, Etihad, Lufthansa, Air France, Jetstar, Virgin, South African Airways, Easyjet, Ryan Air, Malaysian Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Royal Brunei, Thai Air, Air Mauritius, Air New Zealand, Tiger Air, Air Lingus, German Wings etc etc etc etc.......
So where's your list Einstein?
Studies show that air crashes start to increase after the plane reaches the age of 27 years. None of the above commercial airlines that fly daily are flying planes built in the 1960's. In other words - you're wrong again.
So I'll sign off this thread now fella, but hopefully in future you'll do some proper research before trying to sound clever.
All the best.

You started on the nastiness champ - everything that followed is your choice to take it that way
For what it was designed for and how it generally operates, the DHC2 is an incredible machine. You can obviously only relate to aviation with machines that operate out of the likes of Kingsford Smith and on which you can get a gin and tonic. Nothing wrong with that but accept it for what it is - an accountant's (or similar) viewpoint
Fact: There are airliners built in the 1960s that operate today on a daily basis. Not many, but they're there. If you can't accept that then that's your issue turbo
No goodbye from me champ, so I'm ready and waiting if you want to return for another serve

Yep. Probably an accountant or some similar non-job

Re: Hawkesbury Seaplane Crash
Dragon Rapides were originally operated as airliners, if we want to be strictly correct. And some are still flying

Re: Hawkesbury Seaplane Crash
Buffalo Airways, in the Northwest Territories (Canada), was up until recently still operating passenger-service DC-3s on short hops across the Great Slave Lake from Hay River to Yellowknife. They had some issues however and think they may have suspended service, don't know if they have re-started or were forced to scrap the DC-3.

One of my best friends works in remote Alaska, and I worked in the Yukon for a while. Many of those communities are airplane-only most of the year.

Re: Hawkesbury Seaplane Crash
I am old enough to have flown regularly as a hostess on DC3's in Zambia in the 1960's, great tough aeroplanes, remember many landings on interesting grass landing strips, going tec!! and then going off to have lunch with some local friends, before the aircraft miraculously ok before flying back to Lusaka.
What memories, of flying over herds of animals that were prolific in those days.
Mind you I question how I managed it when on the rare occasion I have go onboard one at a museum.
