The de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver is a STOL utility transport aircraft. The deHavilland Beaver was first flown in August 1947 and was produced commercially until 1967. The Beaver was designed for flight in rugged and remote areas of the world. Its short takeoff and landing capability made it ideal for areas normally only accessible by canoe or foot. Because it often flies to remote locations, often in cold climates, its oil reservoir filler is located in the cockpit and oil can be filled in flight. A series of upgrades to the basic design were incorporated into the design to further improve it. One major customer introduced the use of flat steps replacing the earlier tubes, a feature that is now almost universal.

The de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver is one of the most famous bush planes in the world. After World War II, de Haviland Canada was looking to produce a plane suited to operations in the extremes of the Canadian north. The Beaver has become a symbol of the Canadian north, and has since found use as a bush plane all over the world; the international ICAO designation for flight plans is DHC2. The type is used for aerial application; (crop dusting and aerial topdressing), and has been widely used by armed forces as a utility aircraft; the U.S. Army Air Corps purchased several hundred.

Nine DHC-2s are still in service with the US Air Force Auxiliary (Civil Air Patrol) for search and rescue. A Royal New Zealand Air Force Beaver supported Sir Edmund Hillary's expedition to the South Pole. 1657 Beavers were made, and as a tribute to the plane’s bush ability, many of these are still flying to this day. Viking Air of Victoria, Canada, owns the production rights to many of the older deHavilland aircraft (including the Beaver), but currently there are no plans to return the plane to production.
