DHC Caribou Aircraft

[expwor]

Slow Sunday and reading old threads.  Stumbled across this one, and yes while dated if anyone is still interested it looks like Viking Air Ltd uses the DHC-4 Caribou

Uses?  While Viking Air may own (and use for internal corporate purposes) aircraft, they are not a commercial flight operator - they are an aircraft and parts manufacturer as well as a maintenance and servicing provider.  The Caribou shows up on their website because they own the type certificate for that aircraft (along with the certificates for all the old de Haviland Canada planes).  Whether there are any Caribous still licensed and flying in Canada (or elsewhere in the world, for that matter), their interest is in keeping them flying.  Oh, and if they could drum up enough interest in resurrecting any of those now obsolete (but still sturdy) designs, they would do the same as they did for the Twin Otter.
