de Havilland Turbine Otter
The de Havilland Otter is considered by many to be the quintessential “bush plane.” The Otter was based on the design of the Beaver but built on a larger scale, meaning it also has spectacular STOL (short takeoff and landing) capabilities and is designed for bush use. The Otters are easily converted from passenger to cargo use, making them especially useful for diverse operations.
