For those of you who don’t know, Ryan accepted a seasonal job to fly a De Havilland Twin Otter (DHC-6) in the Maldives for the winter. The Maldives are in the Indian ocean south of India. Ryan already had extensive experience flying on floats and on the Turbo Otter (DHC-3T) as well as on multi engine aircraft. The Maldives are really on the other side of the world–11 hour time difference.
