Transport

 The De Havilland Beaver is an iconic bushplane, with some of them still in service today.


More bushplanes can be found beside it.


This is the Reliant.


Here we have a throwback in the form of a biplane, albeit one more advanced than its earlier counterparts: the Stearman Speedmail.


Closing out today, here's what we'll look at tomorrow.

    They look great, but I would never dare to take off in one.

    ...the De Havilland Beaver must be tried and true.

    The career of a bush pilot was often a short one!

    Fascinating. Bush planes, I think I saw one near Lake Champlain a few weeks ago.

    My husband worked in an isolated community along the Newfoundland coast in the 70s and sometimes travelled by bush plane. Quite scary by all reports!

    You really have some wonderful museums. That is something we don't have much of in Montana.

    I wonder if the Speedmails delivered the mail?

    @RedPat: there were.

    @Sharon: I think so too.

    @Tammie: since we're a national capital, we're spoiled for national museums, but we also have local museums and galleries.

    @Denise: you're welcome.

    @Carol: thank you.

    @Jeanie: they did.

    @Ventana: thanks.
