Large Fierce Mammal

This chapter of the saga (if you haven’t already, see A Host of Furious Fancies as well as Chapters the Second, Third, and Fourth) introduces my next choice of aircraft in the fictional fleet of  Golden Mountain Dog Solutions Air Services – the de Havilland Canada DHC6 Series 400 Twin Otter, now manufactured shiny and  new by Viking Air Limited of Sidney, British Columbia. Viking emblazoned the amphibious floats of the Series 400 prototype with the legend “Versatility that Works”. I don’t believe a more fitting comment on the DHC6 legacy could have been written.

None of my flight simming readers will be surprised to learn that this capable, dependable, and oh-so-Canadian aircraft is beautifully modelled for your virtual flying pleasure by none other than Premier Aircraft Design which offers its freeware Series 400 Twin Otter in both wheeled and amphibious versions.

Since its first flight on 20 May 1965, the Twin Otter has proven itself as the “truck of choice” in environments ranging from arctic ice and tundra, to jungle and desert, to the depths of the antarctic.

Get your dog curled up at your feet, download the aircraft and my textures, get all installed up, and live the legend. The PAD DHC6-400 is endorsed to the max by the Large Fierce Mammal.
