U-1A Otter US Army

DeHavilland DHC-3 U-1A Otter Army airplane model. Although the Otter found ready acceptance in bush airlines, as in a similar scenario to the DHC-2 Beaver, the US Army soon became the largest operator of the aircraft (184 delivered with the designation U-1A Otter). Other military users included Australia, Canada and India but the primary role of the aircraft as a rugged bush plane continues to this day. The Otter is also a popular airplane among the general aviation (non-military) parachuting community and can be found in many drop zones throughout the world.
