TABLE OF CONTENTS

2015 brings forth a significant year for Viking and many de Havilland operators alike, as it marks the 50th anniversary of the legacy de Havilland Twin Otter aircraft.

To honour this milestone, the Twin Otter’s 50th Anniversary will be recognized as the underlying theme of this year’s Operator’s Forum, scheduled for September 8th – 10th at the Victoria Conference Centre and Viking’s corporate headquarters in Sidney, British Columbia.

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.

We welcome owners, operators and industry stakeholders for all the legacy de Havilland aircraft types, along with Series 400 Twin Otter operators, to join us at this focused event designed to showcase these extraordinary aircraft.
