The Army’s elite parachuting team, better known as the Golden Knights, accepted the first of three new aircraft from the Fixed Wing Project Office approximately two weeks earlier.

The new aircraft, officially on the Army books as a UV-18C, is a Twin Otter Series 400 made by Viking Air Limited headquartered in British Columbia, Canada. The aircraft was modified by Ikhana Aircraft Services in Murietta, Calif., to support paratroop jumping. The modifications include replacing the 21 “commuter” passenger seats with sidewall “hammock-style” seating to accommodate 16 Army parachutists.
