The Captain exudes an experienced based, cool measured command competence of exquisite nicety. The interior ceiling fans add a visual sweetness to the overall excellence of this aviation video. Well done. Bravo!
Absolutely one of the BEST aviation videos I have EVER seen!! Seeing this video in full-screen is almost like being there! That smile on the captains face after that awesome and smooth landing says it all :) A big thumbs up!
***** Thank you, Captain Roger is a good pilot and he likes what he does, has flown with him two times, after a period of 337 days, so I am going out and fly with him back to St. Barth and Saba. Glad your the good comments to this video
By far, my new favorite aviation video! True aviators, piloting a nice Twin Otter... The Captain style, really badass! It is evident all the experience he has flying over the Caribbean, in the real old school way! Hope I can take a fly with him as the Pilot!
What struck me was the easy coordination between pilots during checklist procedures like pre-takeoff, pre- & post-landing and shutdown. A thoroughly professional team with that vital ingredient, they work well together. Excellent video thanks.
Best footage of a Twin Otter, just love the sound of those engines... really grunty. Great flying too by some amazingly humble pilots. Well done guys... wish I could have the privilege of flying with you (if I ever win Lotto!).
+David Stewart Hope you win the Lotto, and visiting St. Maarten and not least a flight with Winair to St. Barth, I have booked apartment and airline ticket so the 178 days I am back on St. Maarten and I should certainly out and fly a trip to St. Barth again :-)
it is amazing to think that these two ordinary human beings can function a machine that huge, and the way they function around the cockpit, pressing buttons turning dials. I really respect what they do, can't be easy!
m3luk h It's a twin prop, it's not that big of an aircraft in comparison to the big jets. Aside from that it takes a good couple of years to be a fully qualified pilot, and a heck of a lot of money.
This was a fantastic video all around. Like others mentioned, the camera angles, sounds, exposures are all perfect... but most importantly, watching professionals like this is really a treat. you can tell these guys are so comfortable in this piece of equipment.. it's almost like their just managing the sequencing of their leg movements while taking a walk through the park.. totally natural, automatic, and effortless. thanks for the upload.
+mayorlondon Thanks, of course be no music on such a video :-) I felt that music not belong in such videos, the sound it's a big part of the experience.
Flown in a Twin Otter once, from Dulles to RIC, about a 110 mile hop. We were on the take off roll and had just started to rotate, when he came back in the throttles and made a quick turn off the runway into one of those cross overs. Thought something had broke. Pilot comes on and says he had to abort the take off as some other fella wanted to go ahead of us. About then, heard a roar and there goes a 747 at full bore. Kept the drinks in a cooler at the back. Seems like the one I was on, had larger fuselage. Been a while.
The Captain and First Officer handle that take-off and landing like absolute bosses. If a crisis arose I am confident both have balls of steel to handle any eventuality.
Couldn't agree more. These pilots are top-notch professionals. Note the usage of the check-list before takeoff, during the flight, and after landing. This would be a good training video on proper cockpit procedures. Congratulations to the crew.
Dehavilland DHC 6-300 series twin otter, made in Canada (Bombardier Aerospace) Shown in this video is the much older model with analog gauges, pre:1998 :-) many airline companies have replaced the older dhc-6 with the Q-400 model with modern technologies and glass cockpit, also made in Canada by Bombardier Aerospace.
Greased it on, a fine set of hands, great wrists, a natural ... the left hand golf ? glove pure showmanship. Would like to fly my Cessna 180 in there ... its a bit of a stretch from New Zealand
Twin otter is one hell of an aircraft. You can take it down almost everywhere, and with a bit of wind you can almost turn it into a VTOL. One of my all time favorite aircrafts. It is a simple, robust and straight forward aircraft without any “bling”. It is a proper tool for a proper pilot.
I love it that in this plane the props are moved inside the cockpit, that way the pilots can monitor them without having to turn around!
😂 good one!
The captain wears that glove like a boss
That's one hell of a final approach. Hats off to the pilots.
the driving aeroplane is that not simple but landing is very simple but Sunny do not funny subscribe this words
The Captain exudes an experienced based, cool measured command competence of exquisite nicety. The interior ceiling fans add a visual sweetness to the overall excellence of this aviation video. Well done. Bravo!
This captain is so badass he doesn't need props to fly. He is simply using the throttle to control the fan for his badassness.
Absolutely one of the BEST aviation videos I have EVER seen!! Seeing this video in full-screen is almost like being there! That smile on the captains face after that awesome and smooth landing says it all :) A big thumbs up!
Vídeo belíssimo, grato! Jean Carlos Oliveira

Vitor Castro Grazie
Been there. You drop quickly and land at the beach. Sunbathers are totally unfazed.
I like this pilot, his cockpit gestures are great, he knows his plane inside and out, and that was an impressive landing. A+
Hands on flying like a real pro. Nice landing.
Twin Otter is boss! Awesome video of awesome flight. I could watch this all day long.
I flew about 500 hrs of Twin Otter 300 long ago, I loved this video, thank you! Great crew!!
Awesome! That landing was so gorgeous, I simply had to watch it few more times.
By far, my new favorite aviation video!

I just retired from 35 years of airline flying. This guy is GREAT!
You didn't think he had too much energy going into his pre-flare? My first instinct was to shoot a go-around.
Sosai X if you did that at this airport you would be shooting go arounds until you ran dry of fuel
That was a brilliant video. My 3rd watch. Love the landing. Must be a tricky place to land. Thankyou
jools461 Thank you, yes can only say there are skilled the pilots flying to St. Barth :-)
Great pilot.Fantastic landing at St.Barths!
A pleasure watching these pros at work.
What struck me was the easy coordination between pilots during checklist procedures like pre-takeoff, pre- & post-landing and shutdown. A thoroughly professional team with that vital ingredient, they work well together. Excellent video thanks.
yup . really smooth team work
Plus they have tons of practice since they are island hopping most of the time they are constantly going through the checklist
Excellent Video & Aviator's Hand On Perfect Performance
Thanks

Super.. Vuelo sobre el Caribe. Muchas gracias
Awesome video. Thanks very much. What a charming Captain
Thank you, yes Roger is a charming Captain and very skilled
The Captain’s name is Roger Hodge. Unfortunately he was forced to retire at 65 years of age. Great person and friend.
What a pros. They made it seem like the flight landed by itself.
I love this video, amazing thanks for sharing 👍👌
Great flying by very skilled and experienced pilots!
Good for you Captain! Great flight!
it is amazing to think that these two ordinary human beings can function a machine that huge, and the way they function around the cockpit, pressing buttons turning dials. I really respect what they do, can't be easy!

Say what, its only a twin-prop....lol.

I like to much video, is very interesting look the controls step by step. Good job. Congratulations.
+Jesus Torrecillas Thank you very much
Oh my gosh awesome! These pilots rock! Loved every second of this thrilling ride! Awesome awesome pilots!!!
Just starting to view this, and already I get an appreciation for pilots and the knowledge they have, to operate and fly the many different aircraft!
that was the smoothest landing I have ever see
awesome video,on of my faves and a more detailed birds eye view of the cockpit and pilots procedures.
Nat Turner Thank you, am pleased you like my video.

Very professional crew and excellent quality video.
+Al Fraser Thank You
I've been down in that area for months. I don't think there is another place on earth that is more beautiful.
Great presentation of a great condo.
That seems like the kind of pilot I'll be, focused yet chilled. Amazing stuff and in my favorite prop :)
I agree. A great video. The captain seems like a good sport.
Blimey that's a crazy approach into St. Barts - and no traffic control on the road below - nuts!
I don't think that would ever get old.
I LOVE this video - the sound is spectacular! ♥
Thank You!
Brilliant video and flight!!..Many thanks to yourself and the crew especially...Laurie
pilot owns that flight....great job
Great video! I loved it! Thanks for sharing!
+Blomm11 Than you and thanks for watching.
Two four-stripe pilots and a Canadian-made aircraft, it's flying in style, man!
Those propellers in the cockpit sure can move that aircraft pretty fast.
Absolute top notch video
ian neil Thanks!
epic mustache and awesome landing! loved this video
+PhlyDaily yeah great landing! Do you have a pilot licence too? I only know you from your warthunder vids :D
+PhlyDaily Dead right ;-)

Even I got excited during that approach and landing. Damn!

Wow, looks like he used very little thrust reverse when he touched down. That's amazing on that runway.

Awesome video mate, true professionalism in the Cockpit
Shawn L Thank you

Great video!! Some day I will visit St. Barths 😃
+Tranefine thaks,
Holy cow that approach is vicious. I love the 60Hz video.
Like a boss! Awesome video, cool pilots!
The Engines on this aircraft is amazing!
PT6A-27 engines ;-)
The quality is breath taking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+Altenholz Thanks

There are some otters with a glass cockpit, but there is no Q400 variant.
Cette vidéo donne une très fidèle impression de la réalité. Très bien faite. On s'y croirait. Merci.
Smooth!! Great Video, thank you for sharing it with us! :)
+FSAUDIOGUY Thanks
I've have been on that flight with only my wife and I aboard on a very windy day. It was amazing. Nice video, sir.
+Pete Watson Thanks, yes, it is a fantastic flight, visiting St. Maarten again in six months, decided for another trip to St. Barth :-)
thank you for the trip !
Greased it on, a fine set of hands, great wrists, a natural ... the left hand golf ? glove pure showmanship.
Would like to fly my Cessna 180 in there ... its a bit of a stretch from New Zealand
Nice landing.
This video was a flash back to my piloting days, very cool...it makes we want to fly again....
Wow really nice video!
Ghostman113 Thanks.
hii
Just amazing how detailed these men are the level of professionalism is awesome id love to get one of these early flights just to witness this
No wild power fluctuations on the captain's landing---smooth transition from approach to landing.
Great video, awesome landing.
+Emerson Butler Thanks
that runway sure is one hell job but the pilot made it look like a regular runway....amazing pilot.
hii
I love this video. Thank you for putting time into recording such an amazing video. I appreciate that
16:33 Amazing how quickly they came into such a compact area. Pilots seem to be fearless.
Great video. St. Barts landings are always awesome. Great teamwork. Kudos. Thanks for sharing.
+javacup912 Thank You
Love the flying gloves :P
Very nice video. Happy flying!
Oh man ! that was a scary approach and landing handled with cool aplomb by Captain Single-Glove.
Great video! What I find surprising is that those fans on the overhead have no cages.
Twin otter is one hell of an aircraft. You can take it down almost everywhere, and with a bit of wind you can almost turn it into a VTOL.
One of my all time favorite aircrafts. It is a simple, robust and straight forward aircraft without any “bling”. It is a proper tool for a proper pilot.
Who the man? Dat pilot in command. What a landing. 🎉🎉
