    Notes: This Beaver was completely rebuilt in 2003 at Kal Air Repair in Vernon for an American customer and given reg N159M. He never took delivery of it and it sat until 2007 when it was purchased by Seair Seaplanes in Vancouver. They registered it C-GOBC and came to Vernon to pick it up. It was given an annual by their crew and here you can see Igor doing an engine run up after changing the plugs. Note this is a brand new, never been run engine.
