Four airframes, four jobs
Round engines only. Every tail in the fleet earns its keep on both sides of the ledger — passengers up front, freight in the back.
The flagship. Four radials for the long coastal legs and the runs where payload matters more than speed.
Mainline — long-haul / heavy cargo
The workhorse. Short-field capable, forgiving, and the backbone of the scheduled roster between coastal strips.
Regional — pax / mixed load
The scout. Light cargo and small-party charters into the strips too tight for anything bigger.
Feeder — bush / short field
The heavy hauler. Bigger belly than the DC-3, rougher-strip capable than the DC-6 — built for the runs where the Beech 18 would need a second load.
Freighter — medium-haul / heavy freight
The bush specialist. Where there's no strip at all — floats, skis, or a gravel bar — the Beaver still gets in and out.
Bush — floatplane / off-strip charterHow the fleet is split
