A bushplane is a type of aircraft specifically designed for flying in remote, rugged areas, often referred to as "bush" regions. These planes are typically equipped with larger tires or floats to land on unpaved runways, lakes, or rivers. They are commonly used for activities like transporting people and supplies, conducting wildlife surveys, and supporting firefighting efforts in hard-to-reach locations. Bushplanes are often small, single-engine aircraft, such as the de Havilland Beaver or Cessna 185. Their versatility and ability to operate in challenging environments make them essential for communities in isolated areas. These planes play a crucial role in connecting remote regions to larger urban centers.
