Some with wheel under carriage summer time. One bad wreck, ski equipped a March date, on the frozen (thankgoodness)Arctic Ocean arriving at a Decca Station. A pilot error kind of "wrecked the plane" and scared the hell out of me. They had to bring in a big recovery chopper to take the plane back to our base. cheers, ted -----Original Message----- From: LUG [mailto:lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca at leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Jim Nichols Sent: October-06-16 10:48 AM To: LUG at Leica-Users.org; Olympus Camera Discussion Subject: [Leica] IMG: Some Closeups of the Twin Otter The Twin Otter jump plane had been up earlier this morning, and was awaiting another trip, so it prompted me to get a couple of closeup shots not usually available. The reliable Pratt & Whitney Canada turboprop exhaust leaves its mark on the paint of the engine nacelle. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/PA065430fm.tif.html I had not given much thought to the cockpit arrangement, but quickly noted that the engine controls are on the ceiling, something I normally associate with seaplanes. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/PA065432fm.tif.html Comments and critiques welcomed and appreciated. -- Jim Nichols Tullahoma, TN USA _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
