I love how to the non-flying public anything smaller than a 737 is a "small aircraft". The twin otter is an 8 passenger turboprop weighing 12,500 pounds. It's 50 feet long with a 65 foot wing span. Not exactly a Cessna 172.

I swear I read an article one time where a Beech 1900 was described as a "small plane".

Same type of bird that NOAA uses for the rest of our readers. Very agile twin prop craft. Another scare article for a incident with no injuries.
