Here's the Otter in the poster we had when we were Kachemak Air Service. It was sold to an Air Taxi in Alaska in 2000 and it was destroyed about a month ago (12/02) in an accident...no injuries but the airplane rolled up in a ball. Too bad. It was a good airplane that was better when I sold it than when I got it and one I sat in for 25 years.
