However, in the midst of all the lovely new Otter pics is one of yellow. (page four) What's up with that?

That's a different plane. The fuselage is painted in the colors of Canadian military Search & Rescue. http://www.airforce.forces.gc.ca/equip/cc-138/intro_e.asp. It looks like that particular photo is suposed to highlight the new control surfaces painted green in the foreground.

A Twin Otter is the only plane ever to have landed at the South Pole in winter.

Oh man I envy you so much. I havent had a good Fat Tire since I left Denver about 7 months ago. I miss that beer a lot!

If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

Hazed and Infused, Sawtooth, and Single Track are all better tasting thirst quenching summer beers. Tood bad they don't have the distribution network that New Belgium Brewery does (I've run into Fat Tire and 1554 in the Bay Area).
