The Viking test/development aircraft trying out some wheel-skis.

At this date Viking had yet to produce any Series 400 Twin Otters. This is the test/development aircraft.

Before Viking had produced any new Twin Otter aircraft they made this the proof of concept airframe for the 400 series. It still flies regularly on wheels, floats and even skis as the test/development aircraft for any trial installations.

The Ultimate Turbo Beaver arrived in Vancouver just before sundown.

I finally get to meet Olivia. A Viking masterpiece. Viking Air of Victoria, British Columbia acquired this Beaver in 2005 after it had been in the Pima Air and Space Museum in a non-flyable state. It had a fictitious reg of C-KMMS on it at the time. The Beaver was dismantled and brought to Victoria for a complete rebuild and conversion to Turbine engine and registered as C-GODH and named "Olivia" after the actress Olivia de Havilland.

This Beaver is featured on the cover of Sean Rossiter's book "The Immortal Beaver"

In 2016, Viking Air purchased the type certificates to the Canadair/Bombardier CL-215, CL-215T and CL-415. They hope to put the CL-415 back into production once there is enough demand. Pictured doing a multiple air drop demonstration using near by Lake Winnebago as a water source.
