      Yea you are definitely right, That is a very nightmarish steep approach I can’t believe that at all!

    “legroom is poor” omfg. WTFH DID YOU EXPECT? IT’S A FREAKING TWIN OTTER.

      I have to at least acknowledge it 😂

      QFS Aviation - Hahaha 😂. At least it’s not horrible, the Cessna Grand Caravan is much worse, Trust me. I would pick a twin otter over the caravan any day! Haha

      @tyjoseph7343 6 лет назад

      Also, it looks like a DHC-6-200 or -300, the DHC-6-400’s are much smoother, a little quieter and the legroom is about an inch better I find.

    Twin Otter is an amazing aircraft. No others aircraft have the same specs as the Twin. All that with 19 pax.

    great landing!! I had a very similar landing on Pen Air at Dutch Harbor on a Saab 340.

    • @QFSAviation
      @QFSAviation  6 лет назад +3

      Wow that must’ve been a long flight! I know that’s over 1,000 miles from Anchorage

    • @briantampabay7403
      @briantampabay7403 6 лет назад +3

      QFS Aviation I live in Tampa. I went from Tampa- Seattle layover of ten hours then Seattle- Anchorage- Unalaska (Dutch Harbor) It took 24 hours from Tampa. We chartered a fishing boat for 3 days.

    • @QFSAviation
      @QFSAviation  6 лет назад +4

      Wow that sounds amazing! That’s a long commute

    • @briantampabay7403
      @briantampabay7403 6 лет назад +1

      QFS Aviation yeah very long! But it was all 737-900 almost the whole round-trip. I think we took one 737-400 then the Saab 340 twice

    Q, you should do a trip report with Harbour Air in Vancouver. It’s a scheduled sea plane service out of Victoria harbor with great views of downtown Vancouver on takeoff and landing. I did it over summer and it was a thrill. I have a video on my phone if you want to take a look

    • @QFSAviation
