Otter

DE HAVILLAND CANADA DHC-3 TURBO OTTER, KETCHIKAN, ALASKA, SEPTEMBER 3, 2014

Originally called the "King Beaver," the Otter is a considerably larger bush plane, "the one-ton truck to the Beaver's half-ton truck." This one, captured on landing in Ketchikan Harbor, has been up-engined to turboprop status. I wish I had used a much slower shutter speed to blur the propeller.
