The Vids of a outfitter strip in the Northern Rockies, it was taken on a camera so the quality isn't so great.

Hey Rowdy,

I'm just coming to the end of two and a half months mostly OFF.... Was back training last week, will be doing some flying this week, see if I can get a pic or two for you.... The summer might be rather interesting on the photography front, keep you posted.

Nice shots by the way, I love the Twin Otter against the clouds, you should try turning that one B&W....

Is that the beaver that had a hard landing in Bathurst? If it is, is waiting quietly somewhere in southern BC for a rebuild and mods. If BZH is the other beaver that was working in Bathurst then it sits high and dry in YYE waiting for someone to pony up the money for some serious repairs found on the last inspection as it was passing through.

I'm not sure which machine had the hard landing.. I had BZH in bathurst and was the only one there.. they might have brought one of the other ones up. Who knows. I was under the impression it was BZH.. which was a shame.. it was a very nice machine!

Some really great shots guys.

Those pictures of Pond Inlet are amazing!

stl - I agree, great shot of the Goose.

Good to see so many pictures from up north here too, even if they're all of ASW :wink:

Here's a couple more from me.

I've got a Canon Rebel XTi. It can be a bit bulky at times, but for me nothing beats a SLR.
