Thanks for that Flightwatch.

Wasaya lost a 748 - CF-FFW - last summer at a place called Sandy Lake, ON. They were hauling fuel, using a 'Honda pump' to pump the fuel out of the aircraft and the pump caught on fire. They still have 3 machines left. For northern fly-in settlements where ground transportation is not available in the summer, the 748 is pretty near indispensable. Here's the accident thread from another board.

Hawker on fire in Sandy Lake.

Here's a nice shot of a First Air (ex Bradley Air Service) Whisperliner on the approach down the fjord at Pangnirtung, Baffin Island.
