Cool find Flying Trucker!

That was either an illegal "proficiency run" or a volunteer-only test flight with hazard pay.

Any idea what exactly was going on there? I see a beach in the foreground, but I can't tell if they're trying to land on it or what.  :-?

I couldn't find anything on the website...maybe Flying Trucker has some insight?  Here's the actual web page it came from.

Terrific info guys, thanks for sharing, I love reading up on stuff like this!

Good evening all...

Now looking at those two wonderful pictures Ken added, now  everyone here must admit that the 1st picture of the DeHavilland DHC-3 Otter with her P & W R 1340 engine is a much nicer looking old girl than when they put that gas turbine PT6 on her.
