PJ-WIL / WM411 (cn 358) Moments before touching down on runway 10 here at St barts. Im suprised they dont have to replace the nose gear every few landings here. Very skilled pilots indeed.

Beautiful shot!!! I wish I was there, 5 stars!

A visitor from Germany posted Thu February 1, 2007:
The Twin Otter has incredably good short field performance, and it's no secret or magic to use it without hitting the nose wheel first onto the asphalt. Anybody who has ever piloted a DHC 6 loves it and hates it at the same time for being so slow, specially when travelling long routes and departing or arriving on short, remote airports.
