aharon Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Shalom and greetings all my pals, Presenting Buffalo Airways' flagship route from CYZF Yellowknife Airport located in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada to CYHY Hay River/Merlyn Carter Airport located 1.5 nautical miles north of Hay River, Northwest Territories, Canada. Starting engines in freezing -20 degree weather!! http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/CVA0343/BFL%20PART2/ga_zpsqaml4qrf.jpg Holding short of runway 15 spooling engines to get ready for take off http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/CVA0343/BFL%20PART2/ga2_zps5p0tpzyk.jpg Airborne on climb to 10,000 ft entering Great Slave Lake http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/CVA0343/BFL%20PART2/ga3_zpstoxc0tsr.jpg Still climbing http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/CVA0343/BFL%20PART2/ga4_zpssxawijde.jpg Now cruising at 10,000 ft for one hour flight http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/CVA0343/BFL%20PART2/ga6_zpszzf2snn5.jpg Crossing Great Slave Lake that is the deepest lake in North America at 2,014 ft and the tenth-largest lake in the world. http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/CVA0343/BFL%20PART2/ga8_zpsqyxlag4p.jpg Best part of cruising or flying at 10,000 ft is that you get to fly through thick clouds!!! http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/CVA0343/BFL%20PART2/ga7_zpsrnzoivcc.jpg TO BE CONTINUED BELOW..............................................

VFR_Steve Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 What a flight! Brrrrrr feels cold just looking at them, I enjoyed the description on each shot, that takes added time. I love the sunset pics and the snow storm at the end. Well done for getting her down safely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
