Twin Otter

Take flight on the Twin Otter, the Canadian legend that can take off and land in spots few other planes could. It's found around the world in jungles, deserts, mountains, the Arctic, and anywhere rugged reliability and short-take-off-and-landing are needed. Canada's northwest territories are rich in gold and diamonds, but running a mining operation in extreme Arctic conditions with very few roads can be tremendously challenging. Enter the Twin Otter, the rugged aircraft of choice in remote Canadian communities. Powered by two turboprop engines, the Twin Otter maneuvers like a bird and is capable of landing just about anywhere--on land, sea, and snow. Follow this mighty plane as she handles icy skies and frozen-lake runways on a series of critical missions.
