Thanks be to Buffalo Joe and his people!
Can you just imagine the authorities allowing such a tribute to take place at LGW or LHR and can you just imagine how many local airlines would be happy and honoured to take part?
The difference is that in the Arctic, air transport is the daily mode of transport - there is no other choice, unless you want to walk a CAT(erpiller) across the tundra in winter!
It's how the groceries arrive (as on First Air), how the kids go to visit their cousins in the next village, to play a big hockey game, etc., etc.
It is the daily stuff of life, not a summer vacation in Spain, or winter in Florida.
