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.
