Simply one of the greatest planes ever built, so much so it is still in production after 50 years with the Series 400. A testament to a fantastic design.

When I was in the Military and doing one of two tours in Eureka, on Ellesmere Island. I watched a Ken Borek twin otter land across the runway. The winds were sooooo strong, we didn’t think he would land, Nope wrong. Beautiful job! Also seen those planes so overloaded with freight, baggage and passengers, oh and with a 45 gallon drum of fuel with a hose into it for the plane to use in addition to its own fuel tanks.

The aggressive angle of their wings allow them to take off on such short notice, just a work horse a plane. Such a good design that they started building them brand new again.

The Otter is just the most beautiful twin engines airplane according to my taste #!#

First time on a plane was a Twin Otter seaplane taking off from Penn's Landing on the Delaware River in the mid 70's when I was around 5 or 6 years old.

MORE than the aircraft, I love the girl's laughter !

Not really tundra tires, those are called intermediates, the tundra tires are a lot bigger and are the same size as a DC3 main landing gear tire. They do use the intermediate nose landing gear tire while running the larger tires on the mains though. 👌

This is why the Twin Otter a is the preferred aircraft for these conditions.

From start of roll to lift off, 7 seconds.

That looks exactly like my time spent with Canamera during the diamond rush, right down to the tents on the beach and the jet ranger. We flew Ptarmigan airways and I think Tinde.

Any idea where this is ? I worked in the Arctic for several summers and pushed a Bell 204-B through the friendly skies. Worst place I ever got stuck because of weather was on Devon Island, along the Penny Strait. Most Arctic beaches are like this. Nobody running to the water!

Twin Otter: I'm something of a helicopter myself

I flew into the grand canyon in an otter. So much fun

another dhc beautiful aircraft . excellent .

Ese avión es una maravilla para ascender rápidamente en pistas muy cortas, además es muy seguro, lo recuerdo cuando operaba para la aerolínea colombiana Aces.

In arctic bomb cyclone wind conditions the Otter is a VTOL aircraft and only needs a landing pad in such powerful wind conditions

Nice work! Sure is nice to be have that capability when you need it!

After 2050 this will become a Tropical beach.

Definitely a "runway". Good use of quotation marks there. :)

Seems like a pretty standard soft field takeoff. Get the plane off the ground as soon as you can and stay in ground effect, really cool plane none the less and the beach runway looks kind of fun

That's a Kenn Borek Twin Otter...They're the BEST.

3:14 for Twotter take off

No, this is what you call STOL

Skip to 3:10 for the Twatter. You're welcome.

love this plane

Whereabouts?

Looks like about 6 steps...incredible

40+ old,new bikes,bullet,scooters show rooms,at Rajkot city,jetpur,junagadh,gondal,bhesan,guj.india

Just like 007 Great way to go Canadian fishing

Its a great skydiving aircraft too

Keren mantabzzzz🥳🥳🥳🥳

Fuck all these fancy planes I want to to fly the twotter for the rest of my life but I kinda want to fly the su-37 flanker

Same country, Another planet.

Nice take off, btw doesn't that part of artic have ice?

Those are intermediate tires, not tundra tires. Tundra's are bigger.

I want that job...

👏👏👏

Pretty cool eh?

id love to be there!!!! I am a technician but not a scientist ;) It would be nice to get away from civilization. I was once a helicopter mechanic but love to be a pilot, or a arctic explorer.

Is it just the "paint job" on the front of this TO, or is the nose contoured differently on this particular one?

The single large propeller otter doesn't have much range 300 miles? Kerosene turbines are ok with me. I don't advise smoking on these airplanes.

Why the chopper ?

please help me my Piper cub and Twin Otter are fighting for best STOL plane plz halp!

"Atlantic air charters"

A howling wind helps

Harbin y-12?

My uncle operated this aircraft.

Aer Aran is watsching you :))

3:13 is what you came for..

Action really starts at 3.10

Whose laughing in the background? Did someone sell fire-water to the locals?

Why aren’t they using blimps to transport heavy equipment and materials ?

I guess there is humor in a plane taking off???🤨🤨🤷🏾‍♂️

There is no twin like the otter......well maybe the su 35/37 twin!

Don't planes love cold air.

the helicopter did a much more short take off, not so impressive...

Twin otter is my waifu

I guess it's 'funny' to the woman, though!

I’m pretty sure a strong tailwind was all it took to get this airborne.

What was so funny? Can you share the joke?

What’s so funny?
