EP3 - Vintage Aircraft - Fuel Haul to Island Lake, Northern Manitoba - March 1998 - Raw Footage

Film Credit: Tim Milne Video Credit: Kelly Martens Part 3/6 In 1998, Northern Manitoba faced an unusually warm winter, preventing the formation of winter and ice roads. These roads are vital for delivering fuel to remote communities and First Nations, many of which are inaccessible by land or water during the rest of the year. This created an emergency, as many communities rely on these fuel deliveries for power and heating, prompting the province to contract all available licensed fuel carriers to fly in and deliver fuel. Operators from across Canada and Alaska flew into Thompson, Manitoba—“The Hub of the North”—to serve as their base of operations. Many beautiful aircraft showed up, including Twin Otters, Bristol Freighters, C-46s, DC-3s, DC-6s, and SC.7 Skyvans, to name a few. Please sit back, relax, and enjoy the sights and sounds of these amazing retro flying machines!
