Ginormous ()---8 Hole!

[Skunkworks]

A few miles southwest (228 degrees x 4 miles) of Kamloops, British Columbia airport (CYKA),

I came across this gigantic open pit mine. (Afton Mine)

In shots 2 and 3 I hope you can see the plane in the center of the shot! Huge!

Nice set Greg...there is an open pit mine about thirty miles north of here we used to fly over all the time.

They would keep the water pumps running to keep the mine dry...by doing that they created a small lake...big enought to land a Boeing 747 on...

They even had their own airstrip on top of a slag pile...
