That's a Viking Twin Otter DHC-6-400. PT6-34s with Wipair floats. The otters i work with have the same engine and at one time had the same finlets on the horizontal stabilizer.

Original caption said it was the largest twin-engine floatplane nowadays!

I knew this one from an article in a Model Aircraft magazine build article.

Can't remember the magazine or kit off hand, but it looked cool in an allover NMF or Aluminum paint finish with "green squiggle" camouflage, as in the lower colour aircraft profile in this link.

Aviatsija i Vremya AVV-200401 Aviatsija i Vremya N1 2004 (Beriev MBR-2 Soviet WW2 famous flying boat story, Ryan X-13 Verijet + 1/72 scale plans). Model kits, Military and Technical Books and Magazines on www.Aviapress.com.

Wouldn't mind one for my collection

[Capt. Vick]

Don't you get the feeling from the last picture that the pilot stopped the engines a little short of the dock? Lol

I see someone fooling around with the starboard engine...there may have been issues.

The officer in the forground has some interesting body langauge going on there, too...kinda like ass-chewin' time from the looks of it...
