We call them float planes, and here, they are everywhere. Alaska has 1.313 private pilots per 100 people, the next closest state to us is Montana, which has .407 per hundred people. The deHavilland Beaver which was manufactured between 1947, and 1967 is still the much sought after, and highly desired choice for bush planes, or float planes.
