We don't give a damn how they do it OUTSIDE.

Has it got a name yet?

She goes by 945, now.

Talkeetna Air says, "Our newest DeHavilland Otter, N80945, started flying for us two weeks ago. 945 began its career as a topographical unit in the US Army, painted in the typical red and white color scheme of these mapping planes. It surveyed countries such as Libya and Iran until 1969, when it was shipped to Germany for a new olive paint job and corresponding career shift. After its work was done in Germany, 945, along with seven other Otters, retired from military life and was sold to a Miami-based company in 1971. The Otter worked as a charter plane for Kipawa Air Service, Inc, providing services for hunting and fishing trips as well as transportation for Quebec-based companies. 945 uprooted to Victoria in 2004, where it was retrofitted with a turbine engine and various other stylish upgrades. After many years in Canada, 945 has found its new home here in Talkeetna as our sixth DeHavilland Otter working in the Alaska Range."

I thought the DeHavilland Otter was a twin engine high wing airplane and not a single engine. I know the Beaver was a single engine, though.
