The Twin Otter had it too, with some amount of flap selected. It landed in such short distances with minimal flap settings, it made one wonder how often you needed to go full flap with such a nose down attitude and approach speeds so far below Vmc.
Then again I never flew it into eskers like my predecessors. You could literally land on a "long" 2600' runway and be bored by the taxi time to the ramp exit half way down.
