VH-KDK Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 1. Departing from CYPW, which with the car ferries are the only links to the outside world as the surrounding countryside is impracticable for building a road. 2. Looking up Haslam Lake with Mount Mahoney on the left. 3. The Paper Excellence Mill was once the largest pulp mill in the world, cutbacks have left only 3 of the paper machines running for newsprint and speciality papers. It is now shutting down until mid summer due to the China Virus and a malware attack on it's computer system. 4. Good use of the winglets on the Beech 1900. There are enough winglets and strakes on the plane for a veritable art gallery! 5. The real C-GCPL at Vancouver last August. I had never seen a 1900 before and I have recently bought this one in the Carenado sale. I just cannot help myself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know how much I like that! Thanks Gerold. Sadly I had over 5 hours to wait for the flight up to Port Hardy and to make matters even worse there was a dedicated viewing platform right outside the Southern Terminal. Even worse was the 1 km walk to the CAM9 Seaplane Base. What a terrible morning I had! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually after very little sleep after flying in from Honolulu, my main problem were the waves of extreme tiredness. Luckily I was in plenty of time as the terminal was only metres from the viewing area and the anticipation of a flight in a SAAB 340 really woke me up.
