Trip to Attawapiskat

[crtech22]

Got a bit of a surprise Tuesday when my boss told me I was going on a service call and had a little over an hour to go home, pack and be at the airport for my flight out to Attawapiskat. The rush turned out to be pointless though I got to the airport on time and then my flight got delayed for 3 hours. That just gave me time to thing about what I forgot to do before I left and calling the boss at home to let her know I probably wasn't coming home that night was the main thing I forgot. Luckily it wasn't much colder there than it was at home and the weather was nice and clear. Once I finally got up there and finished my job the last flight had already left so I had to stay the the night. Todays weather ended up being good too as since I was already up there I got another call about 40 km down the ice road. Forgot to bring my camera in the rush but managed to get a few pictures on my phone. Before heading back.

Looks to be a bleak place to live.

Pretty well typical of all remote northern communities.

I make that trip / flight often

Looks like you're on the king air 100, did you grab the seat right beside the engine exhaust so you could get your bell rung for the entire flight?

Hahaha! A little shake, rattle and roll!

I sat a little further back but it was still pretty annoying by the end of it
