Very smart, very convincing. Well done.

Nah, your on the wrong forum. That's real world, off to ARC with you!

That's really nice Capt

Well done! Yellow is indeed a tough color.

Some skis would look great also!

Really nicely done. I like that a lot.

Thanks guys ! Just a simple whif....but it did turn out pretty nice !

Buried in the boneyard at CFB Borden were these two Otters. Both were found to be in fair condition. Talks are underway with DHC specialist Viking Air to see if they can be brought back to flying condition.

Needs turbo prop engines!

Captain Canada · February 02, 2015, 05:13:38 AM

Hmmm....maybe !

Reviving the old birds is always a respectable work, return the glory to the veteran!

Captain Canada · February 02, 2015, 07:26:14 AM

Yessir ! I was looking at a piece of balsa wood I might do a turbine.

sandiego89 · February 02, 2015, 10:32:15 AM

Ahh. Poking around the boneyard! Love it. Agree turboprop is a good way to go.

hmm.....Ottowa was looking for a rugged STOL transport to support Canadian troops in the 'Stan.....

Otters with big honk'n turbos would surely improve the "hot and high" performance for flying in and out of those mountain outposts.
And a couple of gunners for self protection.

Im just waiting for a certain venerable gentleman to recommend longer wings
