Touchdown! Greaser!
Planning a few days in Vancouver this summer. Can anyone suggest an operation where I might grab a plane and an instructor for a flight around the area? Not looking for a checkout, just some fun.
I don't know about the flying part but this place is pretty cool. Watch the seaplanes on the water runway at CYVR.

More likely their namesake, the venerable de Havilland Canada single engine bush/float planes that still grace the Fraser River floatplane ramp visible from the deck of the pub.
Dang no gift shop! I was curious what their T-shirts were like. Could have some cool ones with a name like that.
Years ago there was a similar bar & grill on Va Ave just north of KATL, Spondivits, and they had one that said "I'm so happy to be here I could just shet"!
Get outa here, I like my idea better! Gheeshhhh.
You and I are going to invite the ban hammer. Because alongside the flying Beaver floatplanes, that seaplane base also hosts the de Havilland Canada twin-engine floatplane, affectionately known as the Twatter.
Thanks, Tom.

Beavers have tails but they also have teeth. You might not want to approach any female pilots with that line."The Flying Beaver", man what's not to like about that place. Hey maybe that's where female pilots hang out? Maybe? I dunno. Everskyward is a female, she's a pilot, and, well, you know.

They chop down trees, don't they?As long as they don't bite too hard, talking about beavers right?
