Saxy Beaver

N6653K, a de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver Mk. 1, heading south on taxiway "Bravo" to runway 33 at Toronto Buttonville Municipal Airport in Markham, Ontario.

 

Kenneth Gorelick (aka Kenny G) was flying solo aboard his classy classic. That day, the renowned saxophonist flew to Fort Wayne, Indiana; Kirksville, Missouri; and Kansas City, Missouri. In the process, he added approximately 8 hours and 50 minutes to his logbook. This beautiful Beaver arrived home at Camarillo, California two days after departing Toronto.

 

Serial number 565 was delivered from the plant in Downsview, Ontario to the United States Army as 53-2782 on November 3, 1953.

 

This airplane's understated registration doesn't distract one's eyes from its elegant paint scheme.
