    Ooooohh!!  A deHaviland Beaver on pontoons is a real heart throb.  Last
time I was in Goose Bay the Canadian Forest Ministry (name?) had all of
their Beavers and Otters rolled out of their hangars.  All were fitted with
pontoons.  Wish I had taken some photos of that lineup.

    One I have never seen on pontoons is the Antanov AN-2.  I've seen DC-3's
on pontoons and skiis, and the Edo pontoons on those are the size of a small
boat.
