Robert Novells’ Third Dimension Blog
June 22, 2015
Good Morning,
I hope the weekend was good for everyone and if you had to work then enjoy some time off during the week. Today I want to profile a company that has brought the Twin Otter back to life and the name of that company is Viking. Viking was a supplier to De Haviland of Canada for many years before, buying the De Haviland product line, and recently announced a major order of 50 aircraft.
Great airplane and a great story.
