Remarks: Looks like the Dash 8's are being phased out early. Lots of the -200 series Canadair Regional Jets being utilized for some extended routes. Sweet little jet, wouldn't mind the flight on one of these to Vancouver as an example.
Remarks: Amazingly it's almost 6.C at this moment! Beginning of February for crying out loud! No de-icings today! Departure to Phoenix, Arizona as flight HP6132.
Remarks: Presently boarding, loading baggage, connecting tow bar and fuelling up. Quick turn around departure to Yellowknife as flight 5T466. (Currently the only Fokker F28 still flying in Canada!)
Remarks: Guess that's it for the last remaining former Canadian Airlines "Goose Scheme" recently re-painted in the eye catching colors of Canadian North. Departure to Diavik, NWT.
Remarks: Magnificent weather, yes freezing rain yet again! Usually in the Dash 8 area they are able to turn right out on there own, not today. Push tugs were needed to keep them straight!!! Completely iced in!
Remarks: De-iced, but with what type? Departure to Seattle, WA. Check out the array of colors presented! Mostly seen from the reflection on the ground from the freezing rain the night before.
