That's sweet about the Twin Otter. I've had a few hours riding in several of them back in the 70s. I was a CSA in Massena, NY for Air North, who out of Burlington, VT. I wish I had the money, I'd love to own one... even the one's Viking Air Ltd are building. The Otter is an all around piece of equipement rarely matched.

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons....For you are crunchy and good with ketchup.
I'd be more interested in a new Goose if it inline, or better yet, radial engines...turbo props just seem so out of place on that classic design.

If I remember reading it right, you can order a new Goose with the radials but you don't get the gross and empty weight increases since the PT-6's weigh less and and have about 200 more HP per side.
Not to mention the fact of maintenance... those old recips are about 800 hours between overhaul at about $40,000 a pop per engine.
PT-6 is good for about 3000 hours between overhauls at about $60,000 a side. more per overhaul but only done a third of the time.
