Join me on this Super Exciting journey onboard NOLINOR B737-200 Combi equipped with Gravel Kit to far North Canada. We are flying 4 sectors from Montreal Mirabel via Val-d'Or and onward to Meadowbank Gold Mine and back. The landing and takeoff at Meadowbank is on gravel so it is spectacular to watch!

NOLINOR Aviation's B737-200 Combi is one of a few B737-200 equipped with EFIS (Digital) display in the cockpit.

Of special interest to me is that, while upgraded to a more modern glass EFIS, and dual FMS, the venerable SP-77 autopilot is still installed! Both the pilot and the FO stated that they enjoy hand flying their aircraft!

This video was just posted a week ago, so it's a fresh look!

I'm amazed how this gravel-kit works! Can't see it working on the Classic/NG's!

One of the most concise and interesting flight videos I've seen in a while. Thanks!

I'm glad you guys found it as interesting as I did. Given the years I worked on the MV B737-200 Combi, I was drawn to this video like a fly to honey.

Loved this video! Now I'm looking for an ISG retrofit to the Tinmouse 732 hahaha

Great video! Love that plane. Love the Milviz version. Don't fly it often enough 😞 Hand flying is where its at. I always find myself landing at idle like the glider pilot I am 😁

Crew we're enjoying themselves, and like the FO says who wants flip on the AP and then do nothing .

The captain is big enough to offset the trim system 1 notch to the Right ☺
