  • 50 year anniversary of the Twin Otter aircraft . Bruce's name came up many times when chewing the fat with the Viking guys, that are on tour in the north with the latest version of the Twin Otter aircraft. Bruce was the First guy to land a twin at both poles, never wrecked plane, and was remembered by many.
