This Otter came to Kal Air Repair to become turbinized. Now powered by the -12 series Garrett engine.

Coming in to land on Lake Hood's airstrip.

Two years later this lovely Otter was unfortunately converted into one of those ugly turbine Otters, a fate suffered by far too many of its kind.

The neat and clean appearance of this Otter, and of their Beaver, was impressive.
