Description:
"Dave Doyon Jr. powers his de Havilland Beaver Three-Three-Six up onto a tilt ramp. As the Beaver roars its way up the wooden ramp the plane's weight makes the front of the ramp tilt down so it becomes level with the metal dock. Dave [Doyon] Sr. in the lower right is motioning for his son to come up just a little further. Then Senior will insert a metal pin through a hole locking the ramp in the up position. Now the plane can be safely tied down for the night." -- Chip Porter.
