Continuing in the land of seaplanes.
As said in previous post - Vancouver South backs onto the Fraser River.
So, onto some different operators seen over the years. Harbour Air has gradually taken over some including Baxter and West Coast.

Cessna 208 C-GSFA 2 Vancouver
Cessna 208 Sea Air C-FJOE Vancouver
DHC2 Beaver C-FYRR Vancouver
DHC2 Beaver Seair C-FPCG 1 Vancouver
DHC2 Beaver Whistler Air C-FJBP 2 Vancouver
DHC2 Saltspring C-FJFL 2 Vancouver
DHC2 Sea Air C-FPCG Vancouver
DHC2 Tofino C-FJIM Vancouver
DHC3 Otter Harbour Air C-FHAJ 3 Vancouver

Leaving the main airport, onto Vancouver itself. Most folk have probably already seen pictures of the Seaplane Terminal.
Just to the West of the Cruise Liner Terminal, it is often referred to as Coal Harbour.
As you would expect, Harbour Air dominates.
There maybe a set landing line, but it seems to me that they just look for a gap between boats !

DHC3 Otter Harbour Air C-FODH Coal Harbour
DHC2 Beaver Harbour Air C-FMXS Coal Harbour
DHC2 Baxter Air C-FEBE Coal Harbour
DHC2 Beaver Baxter C-GOLC Coal Harbour

DHC2 Beaver Harbour Air C-FOCY Coal Harbour
DHC3 Otter Harbour Air C-GOPP 2 Coal Harbour

Just to the East of the Cruise Liner Terminal, there is a helicopter landing area.

Finally, you never know what you might see in the marina to the West.

Lovely set.
11yrs since I was there, The Harbour Air HQ at Fraser River is great place to relax on a summer's evening - nice bar and restaurant too.
