The floatplane version of the DHC-2 Beaver played a key role in exploration, transportation, and rescue operations in hard-to-reach areas – in the Arctic, Alaska, Canada, and even Africa. During the Cold War and in modern times, this type of aircraft served in the air forces of Canada and the United States, as well as numerous civilian operators worldwide.
