The DeHavilland Beaver is the most ubitqitous aircraft (equipped w/floats in SE Alaska. I have flown as passenger in quiet a few, to here and there, and it has, since my first flight in one, I figured it was at least, the 1/2-ton truck of the sky.

I flew a Beaver with no training. As a geologist, I had hired a pilot in Fort McMurray with a Beaver. which can carry a ton overload given enough wter to take off..
3 months later and it is time to leave the remote site at the Firebag River and we loaded our seismic records and rocks into the faithful Beaver.
The pilot (youngish) had a heart attack and I was the guy sitting next to him..
It was a dal control so I started to play with the motions of stick, foot padals and that is all there is.
I landed a float Beaver (and the pilot survived in hospital)

I know now that some aircraft are ‘forgiving’. Could any be more foregiving than a Beaver?
