Another wintry shot from Yellowknife last March. If you've ever seen that show "Ice Pilots of the NWT" then you'll likely have seen this Buffalo Air beasty before. That's one of their DC3's in the sky above the nose cone. Last time I saw something similar to these planes was in an Indiana Jones movie. [Spot of HDR to bring out the clouds]

I had to fave this one John. That plain is great but the sky you captured really makes it look like the great unkown.

That's really a beautiful plane. I love the shimmery green and the way the sun is glaring off the side and front edge of the tail. Great job on the sky too.

I caught a couple of episodes of the show, I thought the plane looked familiar. A nice photo, I like the lighting in the shot. Great looking sky.

The reason why the sunsets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

If anyone is interested ... the aircraft on the ground is a C-46, a WW2 transport.

As long as I saw propellers I trusted the plane. Hate jets.
The wrinkles in the skin are a really "cool" feature of this photograph. Happy landings.
