I've finally uploaded the pictures of the twin otter plane we took back to Sandakan last June. Never thought that I would ever fly in that kind of plane because I can't really take flying in small aircrafts (not being snobbish it's more because it shakes more than bigger planes).
Anyway flying the twin otter was actually a mistake on mom's side. She didn't realize what aircraft the flight was when she made the reservations. Well to be more honest, she never knew MAS flew such a small commercial plane in the first place and thought it would be either a fokker or a boeing. She didn't even get what the lady at the check-in counter meant by it being a small plane until she saw how horrified I was.
But anyway the flight wasn't bad at all. Other than it taking twice the flying time as a boeing, and noisy since the engine is so near it was kind of fun. It was so small the seats reminded me of sitting in one of those commercial mini vans.

See? That's how small a Twin Otter is. It can only sit less than 20 passangers at a time.
These are the seats in the aircraft. Yup people...totally unlike the ones you normally sit in. Told you it was more like those old mini van seats.
Since I can't randomly start taking people's picture, here's Sam to pose as the passenger (which of course he is one).
And finally the cockpit. To which I think can barely be called one since we could see it throughout the flight. And yeah you guessed it...no stewards or stewardesses!
