The Airplane You Didn't Know You Needed - DHC-5E Buffalo - One Careful Owner

[Max Ward]

It's not a pretty plane, but it turns a profit on even the shortest runways, and that's beautiful.

The DHC-5E Buffalo, from de Havilland Canada, can open routes your competitor would overlook; whether you're entering unserved markets in Colombia, or replacing Metroliners in Fiji.

Seating a maximum of 40 passengers, Reimer International's fleet are configured in a Standard layout of 32 seats, offering good comfort, plus 800lbs of cargo at the same time.  It's the airplane you didn't know you needed.

For the price of a used Beech 1900, you could have the most capable STOL aircraft on the market.  And, with the next D Checks not required until the year 2000, you'll see why we're sad to see them go.

The DHC-5E - Because man was meant to fly.  Everywhere.
