Not much…because that kid wanted to die…and a real pilot would want to live…

He knew what would happen if he landed it in perfect condition. An offer to be a pilot in command was not in the tea leaves.

Looks like Westjet is going to replace their Saab 340’s with Q-400’s on the Cranbrook-Calgary run. Looking forward to it.

De Havilland Canada still has plans to revive the Dash 8 and the Twin Otter.

DeHaviland went ahead and applied for a trade mark. It will be a DCH-515 Firefighter.

More power to them!! After the fire seasons we've had lately, I hope they are a huge success and sell a ton of these. Thankfully we've had good air quality this summer but the previous few were atrocious with so much smoke from fires on both sides of the US/Canada border.

What's the difference between the Twin Otter 400 that they produce now and the upcoming 300G?

I still cannot figure out why this airplane is not rolling out of factory like 5yrs ago. I mean, it is probably most sought after specialized aircraft in the world.

One of m my friends was a UAL A@P at San Francisco base and was able to taxi the jetrs around, he said I think I could take the jet off but landing is a whole other story, He always was truthful.
