At some point, the guy sitting next to my dad - whom my dad reported was getting a little green around the gills - turned and asked my dad what sort of airplane this was. My dad responded that he was pretty sure it was a Twin Otter.
The guy huffed and said 'Figures - I knew it was no damn airplane!'.
So what 12,500 GW twin turbine would have given a better ride?
