RARE VISITOR! Royal Canadian Air Force CC-138 Twin Otter at Calgary Springbank Airport [4K]

- A couple weeks ago, this Royal Canadian Air Force CC-138 Twin Otter paid a visit to Calgary. This visitor from 440 Squadron spent a few days at Calgary’s Springbank Airport, apparently giving some rides to Air Cadets.
The RCAF only has 4 of these planes and they’re based out of Yellowknife for transport and search and rescue operations up north, so they're not a common sight here at all. That, plus Springbank backgrounds, meant I had to go film a few of those flights for myself. Enjoy the video!

I'm a simple man. I see Twin Otter, I like.
I’m a simple man, I see comment, I reply
Had the immense pleasure of being one of the staff members who were able to hitch a ride on one of the circuits. Many thanks 440
My goodness. The twin otter sounds amazing on takeoff! The twin otter is probably one of the most badass utility aircraft to date, its been produced since the late 1950s and the newer Viking Air 400 series is keeping the plane’s heritage very strong!
Beautiful aircraft! I’ve joined the air cadets recently, and I’ve heard of this aircraft, but have never seen it.
Maybe you’ll get lucky cadet
I just love the sound of aircraft propellers
It's my favourite aircraft for sound. Just something about it.
Flat spotted the left tire a little bit. Nice video again, thank you.
Love the sound! Remember hearing these things spool up on cold nights back when CFB Edmonton (Namao) was an airbase
I work a lot in that next door, new, community.
It’s ALWAYS windy there. You can’t really tell from the video as it looks pretty stable. (Both video and plane 😆)
NOAA flies one of their Twotters to KHYA once in awhile, while they conduct weather & marine observation sorties in the region.
Always love seeing that beefy airplane around. It's bigger than it looks on video.
A whole lot bigger on floats.
one of my Dad's uncles used to be in the aerial spraying business, and he had two grass strip runways (one E/W, one N/S) at his farm near Winnipeg he used to fly from. He later had a personal plane just for fun. We were at his place once grabbing some stuff from his shop when we heard an aircraft VERY close by. We stepped out past the tree line and there was one of these RCAF Twin Otters circling around. They did 5 or 6 touch and go-s while we stood there and watched. I guess they saw the runway and decided to do some practice - maybe it was even a Cadets flight like you saw. When they were done, they made a very low pass without landing, and then did a nice graceful climb out and dipped the wings at us - and then they were gone.
Hey Alex, congrats on 80K Subscribers
Nice photography, Alex
SUch a cool bird! Very nice Twotter footage!
I had to click & watch! Great rare plane.
Your videos are always so interesting
Both my Dad and father in law worked on these with 440 when based in Alberta.
waiting for you to make a trip to smithers, great views to fly in to, if you ever come, let me know!
Sad these planes are gone in the USA I’ve only seen them used for search and rescue by the coast guard such a beautiful plane I flew a passenger version of these in Saint Martin amazing power for such a small plane
My favourite plane and only 1km from home. Sad I missed her
Awesome video bro 👌
Awesome video! I flew one!
that livery looks oddly like the turboprop flight simulator hc-400 alternative livery
Great video...👍
well that was sweet
Did they do 2 hours of stop and gos at YBW as well?
Hi. Please tell me which camera do you use to shoot video?
I only live a few km away from this airport in Cochrane
Tire looked low first taxi
How do you record the atc audio?
Why are they use still cc- 138? Which are they use them
They still use these old planes because they haven't been replaced by newer ones yet. New planes have been ordered. They're used for transporting people and for search and rescue.
The plane is very good at flying slow, which makes them useful in the fjords of British Columbia in search and rescue missions.
Quick question why does this plane not have a C-ABCD registration like all canadian aircrafts ? Someone please explain to me. Thanks
Surely because it's military, not civilian.
Twotter!
I love your content (first)
