The DHC-6 Twin Otter is a Canadian 19-passenger STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing) utility aircraft developed by de Havilland Canada and currently produced by Viking Air. The aircraft's fixed tricycle undercarriage STOL abilities and high rate of climb have made it a successful cargo regional passenger airliner and MEDEVAC aircraft. In addition the Twin Otter has been popular with commercial skydiving operations and it is used by the United States Army Parachute Team.
