Zwillingsbiber Twin Beaver

[Phlyer]

The de Havilland Beaver is perhaps the greatest bush plane of all time. There are not many who would dispute this, but one aftermarket variant of the ubiquitous classic, the DHC-2ZB, did not share this reputation. Part chimera, part laughing stock, part legend, part small business triumph, the Zwillingsbiber Twin Beaver, The Edsel of de Havilland, is today the Holy Grail for Beaver collectors.

If this was posted any day other than April Fools day you might have had a few bites.

Today, N23SWB operates out of Van Nuys, California, and is owned by Hugh Hefner, who has a thing for twins.

Hahaha. Love the VWOC April Fools day and other occasional fun articles.

That is hilarious
A whole lot of work went into creating that article. Whoever came up with it deserves a hand.

"..., the Zwilling, or as its pilots called it, the "Schiessevogel” (literally Shitbird),..."


Wow, great article...

[howard40]

The effort!
I will read it all on some rainy day.......

[Castorero]

Wow! a convincing effort. Kudos.

Someday I hope to have that sort of time on my hands...

[Big Pistons Forever]

I am looking forward to part two, that is where he talks about the jet powered Quad Otter.

But seriously I hope Dave Curtis doesn't read the article......it could give him ideas

A fantastic article.

Schiesse vogel? Google translates it into shoot bird. I suppose shootbird could sound like shitbird......

Justin Biber. Grandson?

Songbird............

Since the word is supposed to be german I think it should be 'Scheissvogel' which would mean Shitbird.

Wow. That's an amazing amount of effort for an April Fools joke. Amazing.
