Excellent job on the Otter, especially the custom paint job. My Mom created the GWA livery in 1968 right after GWA moved to Long Beach Airport. My Dad founded Golden West for Architect Bill Perreira, and was its first President until 1972. This video brings back great memories. Keep up the great work.
@SAustin16 Golden West was a great airline and pioneers in So Cal. shuttle. I lived in Fullerton and saw the Otters, what an awesome aircraft for it's purpose.
I witnessed the tragedy of 261 in '76, I remember it like it was yesterday. It was sad to watch a lone "Sistership" orbiting as first on scene. Can't imagine what that crew must have been feeling as they orbited the scene while detailing it to the "office". They could've just had coffee that morning! Or worse been on comm at impact! RIP..
@ingie1837 Thanks for the upload and the great detail work on the 6. You should do a Shorts to round out your fleet! I liked the Otter better, though. Keep it up!

Great job on the Twotter! Such a cool little SoCal airline! I can remember the new-livery Dash 7's at LAX T3 as a kid!
