One of my cousin's kids is the CP of the Twin Otter and Dash 8 operation for one of the native carriers. He lets this young lady ride the jump seat every time she goes back home to the Arctic.
Couple of nice airplanes in the video. The first pigboat is now doing business as ZK-PBY in NZ.

With all the forest fires in the western US, this song may be appropriate. It's the story of the Mann Gulch fire in Montana in August 1949, where 13 smoke jumpers died after the fire they were fighting crowned and got ahead of them.

Iris Dement is an American of course, but she is so good she should be a Canadian and her song was purloined for that Northern Exposure series...... :)



I am planning to watch Jesus of Montreal again this weekend, for the second time in aboot 30 years...

"...I had this dream where I relished the fray
and the screaming filled my head all day.
It was as though I'd been spit here, settled
in, into the pocket of a lighthouse on some
rocky socket, off the coast of France, dear."

About the sinking of the Bismark

"...One afternoon, four thousand men died in
the water here and five hundred more were
thrashing madly, as parasites might in your
blood. Now I was in a lifeboat designed for
ten and ten only, anything that systematic
would get you hated. It's not a deal nor a
test nor a love of something fated. The
selection was quick, the crew picked and
those left in the water got kicked off our
pantleg and we headed for home."
