De Havilland Canada DHC-3 Otter (N252TA)

That's no Mooney, it's a Turbine Otter.

Great photo! Yes, it's a DeHavilland DHC-3.

taking off my guess...

No ,is a full power, stall landing.
You don't see'em vary often but up in Alaska anything go's.

@john cook, please explain a full power stall landing... You're supposing a flair so far behind the power curve that full power is required? Which would mean the aircraft should have no wake in the water correct?

Okay enough. I raise the BS flag to you sir! The aircraft clearly has a wake in it's trail. This was not a landing, but a takeoff sir!

But I do agree that the photo is wonderful.

Cheers.
