very much something that belonged in a museum when compared to a Twin Otter
Exactly. Thats why they use it and not a Twotter for NOSTALGIC SIGHT SEEING. First flight was 75 years ago....and btw., if you think ergonomics have been fully developed these days, I´ll invite you onto a Citation cockpit....
I do know the captain, who used to be my copilot for about 2 years. His first job was motorcycle mechanic, he has the german degree of "Meister" on that one. (which means about 5 years of education altogether). Furthermore he is deeply in love with anything older than him and has a sixth sense for mechanics. I´d say he is the man for such a bird, as he most likely has adopted it as his child. I very much doubt that this was something one could have seen coming.
