The turbine conversion of the original radial piston engine has many benefits.

This Beaver is heading up to Northern Saskatchewan for some incredible fishing.
Voyage Air has three de Havilland Beavers in their fleet.
Canadian aviation history has shown that the DHC-2 Beaver has proven itself as the bush plane of choice for medium size payloads. With the Beaver's STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing)
capabilities, it can get in and out of many more places, safely.
The Beaver is one of the most rugged and versatile bush planes ever built. Hey! That's Dave flying that Beaver.

Voyage Air operated the original radial piston engine version of the DHC-3 Otter until their conversion in the late 1990s.
Since then the DHC-3T Turbo Otter has performed exceptionally well with all the benefits of more power, payload, higher speed and reliability.
Northern Saskatchewan is pretty big. The Turbo Otter can get you anywhere faster. Being an air charter service in Northern Saskatchewan, Voyage Air has found the Turbo Otter an invaluable upgrade to their charter fleet.

Many Fishing stories to be told.
Here is a Single Otter story:
deHavilland designed the DHC-3 Single Otter as a larger, more powerful version of its highly successful DHC -2 Beaver STOL multi purpose aircraft.
During design its nick name was the "King Beaver" .
If the Otter was a "one-ton" truck, the Beaver would be the "half-ton".
