Ladies and gentlemen...the great..the incomparable..the Dehavilland twin otter DHC-6.....this is why I am subscribed to justplanes...thanks again all!! and Viking Air Victoria BC!!
Wow this one is stunning, wish I'd watched it earlier! Anyone else prefer the blue and yellow livery to the red and white? Now for the rest of the video...
Omigoodnessgracious!!! That place is so gorgeous!! I think the Maldives is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Of course, I kinda fancy tropical islands...white sand beaches and turquoise waters... Thanks Just Planes!!
God thanks, that You Tube exists. Where else you should get so precise information and impressions like this. It's like you be there on your own. And yes, he is absolutely right, Flight Radar 24 is great!!!!Wonderful!
Love it!! Would love to see more Blu-Ray's of the seaplanes/amphibious nature. Got the other Maldivian Air Taxi & various dvd's about the flying boats / amphibious aircraft of WWII SUCH AS THE Catalina, Sunderland etc. They're always great to watch, always interesting with the controlling of the aircraft always that little bit more 'Hands On' & a bit more skill evolved fiddling with the throttles to steer on the water etc. I really would like to experience the sensation you get when your plane lands on water instead of a solid runway. Bet it feels strange
Actually there is a difference between flying wheels and floats. The first is the obvious amount of drag your carrying underneath you with floats and pitch sluggishness. But what I noticed most is the feeling of inhibited yaw, that is the aircraft wants to hold itself fairly true, after all you've got two big aerodynamic cylinders under the aircraft inhibiting yaw as they want to essentially keep flying straight. So the float plane has a feeling of being locked in, quite stable or in a rut. With a wheeled aircraft you tend to get less of that feel and with an aircraft where you can bring the gear up you feel even less of it.
I agree with Spencer. Amazing video! And interresting, too. Because you got a captain to explain about the Airline. "Barefoot pilots" ROFL. THEY HAVE NO SHOOES ON!
Great video, do you only fly VFR, or do at times have to fly IFR and to be a part of this flight crew what are the required ratings and hours that are needed. Thanks for sharing....no doubt a dream job
They don't HAVE to be barefoot, But most pilots/FO's and crews choose not to wear shoes, firstly, because Maldives is a hot and very humid country and wearing shoes in an aircraft when its so hot can be very challenging when you start sweating. Secondly, it's mentioned barefoot pilots, not because they are really barefoot, in fact, it is just referring to the barefoot luxury tourism industry of Maldives and these pilots play such an important role in that industry. Hope that explains.

3:53, Bathala...wonderful memories from a happier time in my life.
The Twin Otter has to be the most versatile aircraft in the air.
Commercial flights land on beaches in Scotland :)
Your videos are simply put, amazing!!! Thanks so much for doing them ;-}
Love flying the ocean and boats, this is all in one. Sign me up.
Incredible video and nice music as always. Keep up the good work.
Congratulations captain, nice video. WARNING GPS data base expired Dec 13, 2012.
One of the best videos by far
That was cool to see things from a different t perspective
I quite honestly think the old Blue and Yellow liveries look better...
cool music!
fantastic work without wearing shoes! haha
the uniform is terrific :) love it
Guten Abend zusammen ich wünsche euch allen einen schönen Abend. Gruss Rinalto
Gee, that was a fun video. Thanks! It makes me wish that I could afford a Caribbean holiday and go to a small resort that requires a seaplane!
very nice! Wunderschön!

How can this video get dislikes? This is so ahmazing.
Lovely little show =)
Amazing. Great place, great job and great people.

This was lovely and gets me more 'ready' for my first visit to the Maldives. Was this updated? So nice to hear that lovely Canadian accent......
I agree with Spencer. Amazing video! And interresting, too. Because you got a captain to explain about the Airline. "Barefoot pilots" ROFL. THEY HAVE NO SHOOES ON!
WOW! I wanna fly for TMA some day!
Brilliant video, out of the ordinary.
They really must do something about leaving those ropes hanging about whilst in flight.
Cool! We'll come to have a bare-flight someday!
Canadian plane Canadian pilot! What would the world do without us?
Cool Flight scenes
nice music!
I second that notion lol
great video!!
Dream job!
Great video, do you only fly VFR, or do at times have to fly IFR and to be a part of this flight crew what are the required ratings and hours that are needed. Thanks for sharing....no doubt a dream job
God that is freakin awesome !
That is sweet. How many American's live or visit there?
What are biggest challenges pilots face here? That is fly-wise ofc.
So awesome! :)
The blue and yellow color looked better
I would like to fly for this company
nice!!!in the 301+ group again
So cool man

Me like First Officer Maria
she beautiful :D
If this is how she dresses to fly, I wonder what she wears on the beach?? Thx great planes
Those planes are expensive and it want to do air line flights but I want to start my own airline
Amazing
How can you get a job at this company?
What kind of pilot school you need here for and do you need a lot of flying hours for this job?
Awesome
Can someone, please, tell me, how these Twin Otter babies make their way from Canada to the Maldives??? Are they flown or transported by boats?
They are ferried in different flights
I don't know about TMA, but twin otters for the national airline 'Maldivian' are flown with stopovers at Denmark, Qatar and India
TAKE me!! I've already applied 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😎✊🏼
How can I apply to a job as a pilot on TMA?
so cool piloting in flip-flop´s :P
Honestly the yellow looks better im not a fan of the red
Corrosion in this plane need to be taken very seriously , landing in the water all the time .
I am a Maldivian and i fly with them alot to islands yay

nice commentator
why do they HAVE to be barefoot? Like I see no reason why they can't wear shoes. Seems silly
