1955 Dehavilland DHC-2 MK ISingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1955 DeHavilland DHC-2 MK I (N77KZ) presents as a well-equipped Beaver with no saltwater history, making it particularly desirable for operators in freshwater environments. The airframe shows 10,337 total hours, with a relatively fresh engine showing 455 hours since overhaul and a propeller at 1,051 hours since its last overhaul. Notable features include EDO 4930 floats, wheel gear configuration, Kenmore bench seating with extended baggage capacity, and practical upgrades like tip tanks, lifetime struts, bubble windows, and rear Kenmore windows.

The aircraft has been thoughtfully prepared for versatile operations with a Sorenson belly tank, plumbing for skis, winter engine cover, and engine pre-heat modifications. Recent maintenance includes a fresh annual inspection, and the interior features low-back front seats with functional cargo tie-downs on the floor. This MK I variant maintains its classic appeal while offering useful modernizations for bush operations, particularly in cold weather environments. The amphibious capability combined with its wheel gear configuration provides operational flexibility for both water and land-based missions.
