YK Flypast

Following the loss of a First Air B737 at Resolute Bay last weekend, out of Yellowknife, the aviation community lined up this evening (only 4 days later) to fly past in a show of support and solidarity and to bid farewell to the 12 who died. It was the sort of thing we would have expected the RAF to put on, back when we had enough aircraft, but to see all of the competing commercial operators of this community turn out and act together was really something moving.

A Class Act. What's the music again ?

@NutellaBC the music is En Aranjuez Con Tu Amor

What a great gesture.

And how great it is to see there are some that still put

humanity above profit.

Really touching, big well done guys and/or girls.

I am somewhat jealous of your community spirit.
