The only aircraft worthy of racing the Goodyear Blimp.

God I love Twin Otters! The very first Aircraft I ever worked on professionally. I remember flying from Macon to Atlanta straight up I-75 watching the Greyhound busses pass us underneath. Then running flat out )0 flap landing approaches in to Hartsfield listening to the approach controllers screaming at the 727's behind us to start flying S patterns behind us to keep from falling out of the sky. Usually at the last minute we were cleared for a Taxiway November landing just as one of those impatient 727s comes zooming past us before our wheels touched. Sniff...sniff The glory days of aviation were just beautiful.
