This photograph showcases the de Havilland Canada DHC-6-300 Twin Otter float-plane CF-OPI (msn 243) of the Ontario Provincial Air Service (OPAS) in the 1980s. The Twin Otter, a versatile and popular aircraft, is a short-takeoff and landing (STOL) twin-engine turboprop produced by de Havilland Canada. CF-OPI, with its distinctive orange and white paint scheme, is seen here gracefully resting on the water, reflecting the pristine beauty of its surroundings. The Twin Otter's floatplane configuration, which allows it to take off and land on water, makes it an ideal choice for various aeronautical applications, including search and rescue, passenger transport, and cargo operations. The Ontario Provincial Air Service, a division of the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, employed the de Havilland Canada DHC-6-300 Twin Otter float-plane CF-OPI for various tasks, such as patrolling the vast waterways and wilderness areas of Ontario, Canada. Its versatility and reliability proved invaluable in providing essential transportation and support to remote communities and emergency response teams. The Twin Otter's distinctive design, with its high-mounted wings and twin engines, is a testament to de Havilland Canada's commitment to innovation and excellence in aviation. This photograph captures a moment in time, showcasing the Twin Otter's unique capabilities and the beauty of its natural environment. This image is a rare glimpse into the history of the Ontario Provincial Air Service and the de Havilland Canada DHC-6-300 Twin Otter, offering a fascinating look at the role these aircraft played in the transportation and exploration of Canada's vast wilderness areas.
