DHC-2 Beaver Turbo G1000 XP11

Viking Air, Ltd, a long time de Havilland Aircraft Company, Canada, parts supplier and repair station for de Havilland aircraft, began purchasing the rights to the DHC2 Beaver, and other de Havilland aircraft, when de Havilland ceased operations in the 1980s.  

In addition to refurbishing the venerable DHC2 and maintaining the 60 PT6A-20 powered Mark II and III Beavers which de Havilland built before closing its doors, they began converting DHC2 Beavers to DHC2T (Turbo) configuration, extending the fuselage, redesigning the vertical stabilizer and rudder area, fitting them with the PT6A-27 engine, and in some cases installing new instrument panels and avionics.   

Shade Tree Micro Aviation's DHC2T Turbo Beaver models the latest variant which Viking  is producing after Viking acquiring full rights to the aircraft in 2006 :

We strongly recommend adding our ChaseViewDeluxe (CVD) and TrackerXP (TXP) head tracking plugins to maximize viewing both in the cockpit and in exterior views.   TXP requires only an inexpensive webcam to provide the same look-around viewing offered by other head trackers at a fraction of the cost.
