Viking and many de Havilland operators
alike, as it marks the 50th anniversary of
the legacy de Havilland Twin Otter aircraft.

underlying theme of this year’s Operator’s
Forum, scheduled for September 8th –

Similar to the last Operator’s Forum held
in 2012, the 2015 Forum will encompass
three days of technical seminars, product
presentations, trade show exhibition,
aircraft static display, factory tours, golf
tournament, gala evening, and more.
