    Wow that approach left me speechless, great job by the captain

      Yea you are definitely right, That is a very nightmarish steep approach I can’t believe that at all!

    “legroom is poor” omfg. WTFH DID YOU EXPECT? IT’S A FREAKING TWIN OTTER.

      I have to at least acknowledge it 😂

      QFS Aviation - Hahaha 😂. At least it’s not horrible, the Cessna Grand Caravan is much worse, Trust me. I would pick a twin otter over the caravan any day! Haha

      Also, it looks like a DHC-6-200 or -300, the DHC-6-400’s are much smoother, a little quieter and the legroom is about an inch better I find.

    great landing!! I had a very similar landing on Pen Air at Dutch Harbor on a Saab 340.

    • @QFSAviation
      @QFSAviation  5 років тому +3

      Wow that must’ve been a long flight! I know that’s over 1,000 miles from Anchorage

      QFS Aviation I live in Tampa. I went from Tampa- Seattle layover of ten hours then Seattle- Anchorage- Unalaska (Dutch Harbor) It took 24 hours from Tampa. We chartered a fishing boat for 3 days.

    • @briantampabay7403
      @briantampabay7403 5 років тому +1

      QFS Aviation yeah very long! But it was all 737-900 almost the whole round-trip. I think we took one 737-400 then the Saab 340 twice

    Twin Otter is an amazing aircraft. No others aircraft have the same specs as the Twin. All that with 19 pax.

    Looove St Barths. The landing is the best part of the flight!. One of the chillest islands in the Caribbean in my opinion.

    I did this flight in 2005 on Winair with a Dash 6 over and a Bitiien Norman Islande (like a station Wagon) back. I still have the Safety Cards for both Fixed Gear aircraft.

    Q, you should do a trip report with Harbour Air in Vancouver. It’s a scheduled sea plane service out of Victoria harbor with great views of downtown Vancouver on takeoff and landing. I did it over summer and it was a thrill. I have a video on my phone if you want to take a look

    • @QFSAviation
