[edit] CS2F inclusion

I agree that the CS2F probably shouldn't receive equal emphasis as original DHC designs.

Rather than starting an update war, how about adding another section titled "Aircraft Produced Under License" under the Dash 8 section, then placing subsections about the Gipsy Moth, Tiger Moth, Fox Moth, and Tracker there? Since DHC produced relatively large numbers of aircraft under license, I think this would be fair treatment for these historical aircraft. (Carguychris 18:41, 19 December 2006 (UTC))

Reply: I agree that there should be some differentiation of original de Havilland Canada designs compared to any licence-built programs. I would like to see the new section: "Aircraft produced under license" (note the capitalization that is recommended by Wikipedia for section titles). (Bzuk 18:45, 19 December 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Order of DHC aircraft in article

Why is the DHC-6 Twin Otter placed before the DHC-4 Caribou in the article? It's out of numerical and chronological sequence, although I do understand that it's a design development of the DHC-3 Otter. (Carguychris 18:41, 19 December 2006 (UTC)) Exactly because of the development history but putting the order into the correct alphabetical/numerical sequence is fine with me as long as the reader can determine the connection between the Otter and Twin Otter and its lineage.
