This aircraft is made for fs98
Surinam airways is the longest or is one of the longest operators of
the Twin Otter
It started in 1968 with the 100 series (PZ-TAU) sn# 76 followed by this aircraft
a few days later (PZ-TAV sn# 94).
In 1976 two additonal Twin Otters joined the fleet with the new yellow (banana livery) ,these were 300 series.
In 1979 all 4 Twin Otters were replaced by three new Twin otters 300 series and two
of them are still with the company.
I flew this aircraft from 1991 till 1995 in the jungle of Suriname in to strips ranging from 350 to 750 meters long
and carrying passengers to fuel barrels.
One thing I know for sure,there is still no replacement for this
unbelieveble and incredible aircraft.
