This is Serial Number 66, from 1966. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/Another+Twin+Otter.tif.html The DeHavilland Twin Otter is loved and respected for its abilities and its handling. To understand how this was achieved, one must look at the details that DeHavilland worked into the design. An example pictured here are the vortex generators that energize the airflow in the corner between the fin and stabilizer to increase the response of the rudder and elevator. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/Vortex+Generators+on+Twin+Otter.tif.html Fuji X-E1 and Leica Summaron 35/3.5 Comments and critiques welcomed and appreciated. -- Jim Nichols Tullahoma, TN USA
