About The DHC3 Otter X

The DHC3 Otter is one of the most popular aircraft of the 1950s, the “King Beaver” as it was originally known as put into action relatively quickly during the 1950s as the De Havilland Canada corp wanted to start improving their overall level of performance on the markets. They have struggled to get transports quite right until then and this was one of the most impressive changes that they were able to bring to the organization – the creation of the Otter, as it was eventually renamed, was a catalyst for the success of the business.

It was created over a 16 year period, with more than 450 of the aircraft being built. They were very successfully used by the Air Command of the Canadian Forces an before them the Royal Canadian Air Force. It was used as a search and rescue vehicle mainly, but also spent a lot of time as a utility transport for the military. I was also used as part of the UN Emergency Forces as it helped out in places like Port Said in Egypt. Its incredible durability and versatility made this a massive popular choice across the globe for its exceptional style and its overall level of performance in comparison to many of its competitors at the time.

It was adopted by the US Army at one stage, too, and was at one point one of their main units for quite some time. It’s reputation exceeded it rather quickly and, before long, the aircraft itself was seen by many as being an absolute key to the long-term future and growth of the company itself.

It was used regularly for skydiving, too, as well as those who wanted to take part in these kinds of events in places like Australia and India – in fact, even today, it’s still regularly used an incredibly popular and effective rugged bush plane. It’s style and nature overall makes it one of the most popular aircraft out there, acting as the starting point for many skydiving drop zones and companies offering skydiving lessons.
