Today was another “no fly” day, we did make an attempt, we met the chopper pilot loaded the chopper and started it up, however during the warm-up there was warning light for the hydraulic system that went out before it was susposed to....
What you don't want to see before take-off.
So the pilot shut it down, and the engineers had a look, within 15 minutes we were ready to go again. the lift off was fine, as was crossing the Mackenzie River
however the cloud cover was too low
to go through the valleys
and too thick to go over the mountains.
Our attempt to make it to the work sites lasted a mere 15 minutes of flying, before we turned back to base.
Oil rigs on the islands in the Mackenzie River.
and the Norman Wells Airport
Cheers and good night
