pchapman 279 #27 May 7, 2007 Quote "Papa Victor" came up for it's 49,000 rotation maintenance need, so she got new wings and stuff. So you're talking about new build wings, from Viking Air in British Columbia? Viking's plans for new Twin Otters catch skydivers' attention, but it's interesting to see that they have actually been delivering their wing sets to the skydiving industry, something that isn't as glamourous and talked about by jumpers.
