  • Here is a special compilation featuring one of my favorite turboprop aircraft, the mighty DHC-6 Twin Otter! All the aircraft are operated by Harbour Air out of the Vancouver Harbour Airport CYHC.
    The video features numerous landings, takeoffs and engine start-ups!
    The three aircraft featured in the compilation are:
    C-FWTE, now operating for Skydive Dubai, in the old Westcoast Air livery.
    C-FGQH & C-GQKN, still flying for Harbour Air, their entire Twin Otter fleet.

    What a great video, thank you for posting it! I grew up in and around Vancouver harbour and the sights, sounds, and smells of 40+ years of the goings-on there are forever etched in my memory. As a child and young teenager my friends and I would walk down to the end of Pemberton street in North Vancouver and swim out to the log booms. From there we spent many an indolent summer day swimming, fishing, and just watching the busy harbour. There was always something going on. A few times we actually climbed up the north tower of the Lions Gate bridge and would moon the float planes as they flew by. Ah!, our mis-spent youth! Anyway, one sound I'll always remember and miss is the howl of the floatplane props echoing around the harbour.

    • @TheHDAviation
      @TheHDAviation  6 лет назад

      That's always my favourite thing to do when visiting Vancouver, is watch a few seaplanes taking off. Haha I can't say I've ever mooned them though 😄 Thanks for watching!

    • @TheHDAviation

      They have a very long life, as the aircraft in the video are already 50 years old. They must have to do regular maintenance and corrosion inspections to protect against the salt water.

    • @erikvogel1
      @erikvogel1 7 лет назад +2

      Hi Jim, the propellers are able to move to a reverse pitch. ( called Beta range and very distinctive noise when used) It is used to move in reverse and to stop quickly after landing. Makes for quick turns when one is in reverse and the other one is forward.
