Turbine Otter driver in Baker Lake?

Wow. On wheels? Wonder what that gig pays? Great job for someone "running away" from it all! But then, I'll admit, I know nothing about Fast Air. Methinks they are in YWG.

Very professional company from what i saw. They do have a website. Executive air charter based out of YWG, but the otter is positioned in Baker Lake. It's run on tundra tires with the garrett conversion. I had the opportunity to fly PEN on its last piston voyage...Here's the new PEN...

This Otter has been based in YBK for the last couple of years. The nicest Otter I've ever seen, and I've been around a few. Off-strip big wheel work with over-sized tires, I think it would be a blast. Run by a fellow named Boris who has been in YBK forever, and all my dealings with him has been positive. They did have an incident with it a couple of years ago but I can't recall what happened. Sure it was an off-strip landing in soft dirt. That nosewheel on the DHC-6 does come in handy versus a tailwheel doing esker work.
