Shalom and greetings all my pals,
All of you have already saw my exciting flight report of Buffalo Airways' famous flagship route from CYZF to CYHY in my past screenshot post where all of you can find using those forums' search funciton.
Now here is super gorgeous return trip of Buffalo Airways's flagship route which takes all of you back from CYHY Hay River/Merlyn Carter Airport located 2 miles north of Hay River, Northwest Territories, Canada to home base in CYZF Yellowknife Airport located in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada
Parked at CYHY gate
Ready for passengers to board for late afternoon or early evening flight to CYZF!!!
Taxiing on taxiway A to short of runway 13/31
Exiting from taxiway A into runway 13/31 for more taxiing and backtracking at runway 13
Taxiing on the CYHY runway
Backtracking at runway 13 with background view of Great Slave Lake
Airborne on climb to 9,000 ft leaving background view of the airport of departure where you can see another plane getting ready to start take off roll on the same runway for same route flight to the same airport of destination
Cruising at 9,000 ft joined by other Buffalo Airways planes in tight formation
Best part of DC-3's required 9,000 to 10,000 ft cruising altitude is that you get to fly though many thick clouds!!!
Wooo just finished passing though clouds
More clouds to pass through!!!
Cruising across Great Slave Lake via NAKTO XIKIX to CYZF
Now on descent from 9,000 ft through heavy clouds to 3,000 ft on way to runway 15
Descending through clouds
Coming out of clouds toward 3,000 ft
Seconds before touchdown on runway 15
TOUCHDOWN!!!
Braking down with background view of Buffalo hanger
Backtracking on runway 15/33
Exiting from runway 15/33 into taxiway A on way to gates
Arrived at the gate while First Air plane with Oxen tail was getting ready to depart
DC-3 seat was giving me neck pain looking at tilted view of other planes
Canadian North 732 arrived from CYYC
About one hour later, the same First Air with Oxen tail arrived at gate after its return trip
Looking at left gave me view of Canadian North 732 departing from gate for return flight to CYYC
Canadian North 732 entering into runway 15/33 for more taxi and backtracking
You can see taxiing Canadian North 732 in background
Ready for return trip to CYHY!!!
Thank you for viewing!! Stay tuned for next exciting flight!!!
Regards,
Aharon
