Thanks for your input, Roy about the Beaver (L-20) yes it was a fine safe aircraft, just face the wind lower the flaps and it would take off. Not many people know the Beaver was used in the Vietnam conflict noy only as a cargo plane named ( LSAR) LOW SLOW AND RELIABLE. It first saw use in the early 1960s as an Army Security Aircraft used by the CIA and other Spooks, the plane was loaded with electronic gear and looked like a porcupine with all the radio mast sticking out of the body. Later replaced with OV1A,B.and C Mohawk surveillance aircraft.
