This is one of the best videos ever by AOPA. Thumbs up to David Doyan and Dave Hirschman

[@brucehomstad5256]

Hirschman, you have the best job ever! You are living the dream. Thanks for your contribution to us pilots.

[@Phlyr]

I enjoyed the opportunity to fly right seat in the DHC-3 Otter with True North Airways to their remote fishing camp in Ontario this July. Great airplane!

[@MultiPleaser]

What is the worst chop that you can bounce through and still take off safely?

[@Eltoca21]

That fan behind the pilots head is a first time seeing that.

[@rmshivo]

the Pilatus PC-6 Porter is the closest fixed wing airplane to a helicopter😉

Spent 4500 hrs in the Otter

[@nashdp]

Why do pilots often say “slow it up” with regard to airspeed, instead of slow it down? Never hear this phrase anywhere else.

Gezz ..

[@FireBosspilot]

Turbin??🤨

[@togen8032]

Saw the guy wearing a mask and turned off the video immediately.

[@PostcardsfromAlaska]

Yep. Masks are a deal breaker for me. Mass hysteria be damned. I spend 5-8 hours/ day in the same plane, and none of our guys are willing to play make-believe to placate fear-mongers. Our clients are cool, not a bunch of urban ass-hats.

[@togen8032]

@@PostcardsfromAlaska Yeah I fly professionally too. Nobody around us ever wore masks, we're all fine. Never had anything. But sitting alone in an airplane with a mask beats the people driving alone in their car wearing a mask. 🤣

[@myadder2]

You turned the video off immediately and then, what...reopened it to comment?

[@mattwerneke5246]

Why the mask?? it's been over for 1 1/2 years, did not expect to see this from aviation buffs.

[@hotspur666]

I used to fly with maps that were just blanks! Last I flew, I had good GPS that gave me the exact distance, direction and height but it was was so foggy that I could not see my own wing or the Otter's nose! So I could land totally blind but at the right place. Imagine, you slowed down and suddenly, you landed, then go forward very slowly until I see a beach, then turn the plane around to back up to that beach! I had two GPS, one was my portable one, in case the other one shut down!

Mask?
