1954 De Havilland DHC-2 MK ISingle-Engine Piston Aircraft • Eau Claire, WI, USA

This 1954 de Havilland DHC-2 Mk I Beaver, registration N654DF, presents as a comprehensively rebuilt example with 5,371 hours total time on the airframe. The aircraft underwent a complete, three-year rebuild from 2006 to 2009, taking the airframe down to its bones with extensive skin replacement, corrosion-proofing, and the replacement of countless components from flight controls to wiring. Since that rebuild, it has accrued only 125 hours. The Pratt & Whitney R985A-14B engine shows 125 hours since major overhaul with compressions all at 78 or above, and the Hamilton Standard propeller has 175 hours since overhaul.
