I flew into Igloolik with CAlMAir's DC4 back in 1986.
the view of Baffin Island from FL100 is awesome.
Igloolik, not so much, it just looked like flat tundra.
My brother even went up there for several months during the school build.
one thing that facinated me in the northern communities was how fast and free the $100's were brought out when someone asked me to bring up hard liquor. Back then a plastic 60oz was about $40, so one would make $60 per bottle, and when you were just given 15-20 $100's there was a lot of incentive to bring up booze.
the practice was stopped voluntarily when one of our Loadmasters started to carry up drugs. The rest of us had no intention of spending ANY time in Yellowknife for bootlegging!
I'd LOVE to go back north for a tour but many of our stations are closed now, and the chances are sliim to none.
but Canada's archipelago is in Incredible and Awesome place to see! You Literally can see tomorrow from the air!
