Off to Sproat Lake with two Beavers and a Beech 18. This was my first air to air photo session, what a blast!

Having taken off after the Beavers the Beech overhauled us just as we got to our destination.

Those of us that flew up in the Beavers managed to blag a ten minute circuit of the lake in the Beech.

Hope you find these of interest. The next subject could be described as out of this world!

Nice Keith, I'm only just the teeniest bit envious of your opportunity, that looks like a blast. Your 1st two shots feature a turbine Otter, was that one of the "two Beavers" or did I miss one?

Great pics! Definitely taken some time ago. The Baxter( now no longer operating)Beaver C-FWAC is now with Harbour Air a nd is one of three I have fown in. In fact I took a trip in 'WAC September 2016. The Turbo Otter looks like it was an ex Pacific Coastal Airways machine. It currently sports Harbour Air new colour scheme as of 2016 when I saw it. 

I visited Sproat Lake in 2004 but only saw the Martin Mars.  ( Are they in your next batch????)

I Like the Beech on floats.

Well Steve,  I was flying in C-FWAC taking pictures of C-GWCT. All thirty of us flew up to the lake using the Beech and the two Beavers. The Turbo Otter was my chariot for the return to Vancouver on my 40th birthday. Nice to know that Alpha Charlie and the Otter are still about. Thank you Paul.

Thanks Keith, I was on my phone at work last night when I saw these, the regos were a bit small to pick out clearly. Those shots look far better on the laptop screen. :)
