This leg of the adventure to Nuuk, Greenland required a stop to refuel. I chose CYWK in Wabush, a small town in the western tip of Labrador, known for transportation and iron ore operations with a population of 1,861 according to Wikipedia.

Cold and dark time for lunch:

So after getting fueled up and parked I needed to find a ride (...dog sled maybe?) to Jordan's Family Restaurant (...read good things on Google...) about 5 minutes away for a late lunch. The plan is to give the PC-12 a good going-over then take a short nap before heading to Nuuk. I hope to be wheels up by around 4pmn local.

I should have 3b posted up tonight. Until then, happy landings!

These shots are as good as your idea of a world tour. Fantastic stuff.

Thanks again tamsini. I'm going to try to keep it going as long as I can. 

Wow, that was a lot of flying today (and boy are my arms tired! ^budump-pssshh* ).
