I always wanted to fly the Dehavilland DC9
I've flown in an Otter twice, a Beaver and a Grumman Goose maybe a dozen times each when we lived in Juneau. Mostly for work and deer hunting trips, all on floats. Lots of fun.

It’s called a PILOT. You take a pen and a paper and add up all the weights and how far forward or back they are. You plot the result is a graph that’s called the CG envelope. I do a complete weight and balance calculation every time I go up. I once had to add 55 pounds of ballast in the luggage compartment because my CG was too far forward.
It’s not cool, it’s not sexy, but the math will never fail you.

“My point is it was a short runway.”
Don’t extrapolate from jets and vectored thrust to civilian prop planes.

I think the otter is a great plane.
