Chris, this is Serial Number 14, from 1966. There's fresh paint on the
outside, but the inside of the cockpit door shows its age.
I suspect that one would soon violate the old adage of "a hand on the
throttle". Of course, with the P & W, there is little likelihood of a
surprise.

That cockpit has seen a few flights, Jim. I suppose you get used to the
position of the throttles, but trundling around with your hand above your head
might get a little tiring.

The Twin Otter jump plane had been up earlier this morning, and was awaiting
another trip, so it prompted me to get a couple of closeup shots not usually
available. The reliable Pratt & Whitney Canada turboprop exhaust leaves its
mark on the paint of the engine nacelle.

I had not given much thought to the cockpit arrangement, but quickly noted that
the engine controls are on the ceiling, something I normally associate with
seaplanes.
