About the Twin Otter

The DeHavilland Twin Otter (DHC-6) is a highly maneuverable, versatile aircraft which can be flown slowly (80-160 knots/150-300 km/hr) and in tight circles. Known as a “bush” plane, the Twin Otter is cable of take-offs from short runways and quick climbs to altitude.

About the Caravan

Nothing matches the versatility of the Caravan. That’s why Caravan is a choice of dropzone operators around the world who are looking for a true workhorse aircraft.  The Caravan sets the standard for flexibility and performance along side the Twin Otter. The Caravan is specially designed for the abuse of unimproved runways.
