September 17, 201213 yr Shalom and greetings all my pals, Straight out of NWT ICE PILOTS episode, here is a nice Curtiss C-46 Commando flight from Ekati Airport (IATA: YOA, ICAO: CYOA) is located at the Ekati Diamond Mine, Northwest Territories, Canada to CYZF Yellowknife Airport in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada. Boarding cockpit in middle of heavy snowstorm Ready to start engines!! Engines started with roaring sounds and lots of engine start smokes Taxiing to short of runway 02 Entering into runway 02 Starting take off run!! Airborne on climb to 10,000 ft fading away into thickness of clouds Climbing through clouds Best part of flying Curtiss C-46 Commando is that you get to fly at required 10,000 ft giving you gorgeous view of clouds as seen on this example showing combination of views of clouds and spinning propeller out of left cockpit window Cruising just above heavy clouds Because of regulations of the forums not allowing more than 10 screenshots per post, please go to this hyperlink to view rest of exciting flight: http://vatil.org.il/vatil/board/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=41012 Thank you for viewing. Please stay tuned for next exciting flight!! Regards, Aharon

September 18, 201213 yr Author Thanks all for kind words!!! What's up with the Lufthansa crane though? seems odd. Loan, I am sorry but I do not understand your Lufthansa crane comment??? If you are referring to logo on the tail of Buffalo Airways C-46, that is logo of buffalo animal, not crane. Aharon
September 18, 201213 yr Loan probably means the logo on the nose beneath the cockpit which does look like Lufthansa.

September 19, 201213 yr Author Jean-Paul, Ahh thanks for explanation. I did not notice the crane under cockpit window!! Loan92, This aircraft was on lease to Lufthansa many years ago before Buffalo got it, as with most of aircrafts in Buffalo Airways fleet, the airline owner Buffalo Joe leaves odd logos and bits of paintwork that refer to their history.
