Heh guys and gals. The term twotter to a Canadian with thousands of hours on type is a bit gay. It think its a British term that was invented for it. Please stop!
We commonly call them ' The Otter' or by their real nick name 'The Hog'. As we invented them (possibly the best all around bush plane ever invented) and fly them in vast numbers, please learn from your colonial cousins across the pond and put this horrible name to rest.
Oh and there are lots of job out their for 'Hog' drivers if you look around. A fantastic machine to cut your teeth on before climbing into a big old boring jet. Some of the finest set of hands and I feet I have ever seen were at the controls of these awesome aircraft.
