1956 Dehavilland DHC-2Single-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1956 DeHavilland DHC-2 presents as a highly modified amphibious workhorse with extensive operational upgrades. The airframe shows 18,675 total hours with a fresh powerplant showing only 1,066 hours since major overhaul (SMOH), paired with a similarly timed two-blade propeller at 1,066 hours since overhaul. Notable modifications include a Viking 6000lb upgross kit (with 5600lb/5500lb wheel/float configurations respectively), extended cabin, wing tip tanks, and lifetime wing struts. The aircraft features both float and wheel/ski configurations with Edo 4930 straight floats with compartments and DeHavilland wheels/skis available.

Recent 2024 maintenance includes new door posts installation, while other upgrades include Sealand Alaskan door modification, Kennmore seaplane finlets, military-style quick-change seating, and utility interior. The aircraft is equipped with dual VHF and HF comms, Jason alternator mod, battery forward relocation, Tanis engine heater, and a camera hatch. All corrosion ADs have been addressed, and the aircraft has been Canadian Commercial maintained. The seller indicates openness to trade considerations for a Turbo Beaver. With its 6000lb upgross capability and amphibious flexibility, this DHC-2 is configured for demanding utility operations in remote environments.
