How it is done

A lot of what happens around here happens when guests are not here. Regular maintenance is of high importance with our aircraft. We follow stringent manufacturer's and government guidelines in maintaining our fleet.

Quite often I am asked, "How do you get the airplanes in the hangar?"

We have a lift cart which goes under the spreader bars of the Beaver or Cessna which lifts the aircraft up and allows us to move it with the truck. The Otter is too heavy for the cart so it has it's own wheels which attach on the floats and gives it mobility on the ground.
