DHC-2 Beaver Civil Air Patrol CAP

DHC-2 Beaver Civil Air Patrol airplane model. The de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver is a single-engine, high-wing propeller-driven short takeoff and landing (STOL) aircraft developed and manufactured by de Havilland Canada. It has been primarily operated as a bush plane and used for a wide variety of utility roles, such as cargo and passenger hauling, crop-dusting and civil aviation duties. Several DHC-2s are still in CAP service for search and rescue operations. The Beaver's versatility and performance make it the preferred aircraft of bush pilots servicing remote locations in North America. Aviation historians regard the aircraft to be a Canadian icon, and it has graced two commemorative coins in recent years.
