About the De Havilland DHC-3 Otter
The De Havilland DHC-3 Otter is the bigger brother of the Beaver — a larger single-engine STOL utility aircraft with greater payload and cabin, originally powered by the Pratt & Whitney R-1340 radial and, like the Beaver, frequently converted to turbine (PT6/Walter) power. It serves heavy bush, float and utility roles where the Beaver runs out of room.
