Flying!

Took a load of fuel and food and guys to a drilling camp 200 miles north.

Parked at the camp, loaded up again and ready to head back home.

Climbing up to 11,500....  ;)

Can't wait till I get to do this everyday  ;D

Ice Roads on the decent.

All buttoned up, it was only -15C so it wasn't bad, I would hate doing this in -35C!

Pics taken on my Panasonic Lumix, left my Nikon SLR at home, so quality kind of sucks.

Thanks for looking  ;)

Are you the co-pilot I guess?

Good evening all... ;)

Wonderful shots Crossfire...very nice... :)

They are a great aircraft and you are in the right spot to get some stick time.
Hope you have or get your commercial licence as you already have a foot in the door.  Perhaps the outfit can help you out as there are so many business educational grants and right offs for the companies now.

How large is that outfit you work for?

Do not be afraid to post more shots of the wonderful great white north.   ;D

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Looking good in your David Clarkes.  Are those skis with the leaf springs standard for the twin Otter or are they an in-house design?
