De Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter FIRE FIGHTER

2,852 PHNLplanes  1.2 years ago

Some backstory to this: the wright community were in trouble OH NOOO they were having major wild fores but they didnt have enough fire fighters so they had to imrpovise and they had to modify a dhc-6-3 to be a fire fighter with instead of seats is a giant water tank and can also be used as a trail plane for a bigger fire fighter aircraft and needs skis to land in rough places if the airspace isn’t clear enough to land safely at a proper runway or for a fast refill on water ( original aircraft is from mapa)
