We started the process with Rocky Mountain Aircraft in December 2004 and took delivery on July 5, 2005.

Same guys that pieced back together the original FrankenOtter with parts from the old 30EA. It looked like their own little mad scientist project tucked back in the corner. But they do a hell of a job. Right outside their hangar there west of Calgary, Canada (Spring Bank Airport?) they have the "Otter Graveyard". It's all of the recovered Otters they've taken in for parts. There is a photo album to go with the graveyard that shows some of the crash sites (if involved in a crash) where they recovered from. It'll send chills down your back to walk the yard. George is good people and everyone is nice up there. Had the pleasure of spending two weeks up there while they did work on 10EA and the new 30EA.

Todd and I are very happy with the product that we got from Rocky Mountain. The aircraft was about 9 weeks late, but that's par for the course and we feel that it was worth the wait. It was a hell of a project with plenty of speedbumps along the way. Check out the entire project at http://www.skyteam-aviation.com

Nice product! However, in the midst of all the lovely new Otter pics is one of yellow. (page four) What's up with that?

The "new plane smell" has already been replaced with skydiver odor though!
You might want to instruct your jumpers on how to stow the bench on the starboard side. On all but one load I was on it was not possible to stow it because some b*gg*rs wouldn't get up.
The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.
