Flying with the Milk, Eggs and Cheese.....

This morning I had another first experience... travelling on a 'twin otter'... and it was a fun experience... I must admit I'm not so much of a fan of small aircraft--but I think this morning's flight has changed this!   Walking out to the plane I was like.. that thing is TINY..it looked like a baby plane compared to the planes that usually fly up to Pang!  Then they opened up the door and all six of us climbed inside...and the pilot stood outside and told us that the flight would take approx 35mins, the skies looked good..there were 4 exits for us to use in case of emergency and there was a 'security' briefing if we wanted to see it in the seat pocket in front of us....oh and keep your seat belts on the whole flight!...then he said, "I'm closing you in so I can go get this plane started and the heat on"... (which I was kind of grateful for because it was chilly this morning in Iqaluit!)...I kind of wished that it was a clearer view of the pilots(look very closely in the photo with the milk, eggs and cheese you'll see their hands)--because I kind of wished I could fly...maybe that can be my next occupation!? it was kind of weird to seeeeeeee the pilots turning knobs and buttons etc....through the whole flight and at one point when the pilot turned around to give us the THUMBS up (to make sure we were ok?I guess..but if we weren't I'm not sure what he could have done to help us out!? lol)  We flew above the clouds..but for part of the short flight you could see the land underneath us....I am always struck at how beautiful the land is...and how lucky I am to be able to travel around and see it!  Then we flew above the clouds...and out my window I could see a rainbow--the photo isn't that clear--but it was a pretty cool site! All in all it was a great flight..smooth and not so bumpy....and .....I must say that the milk, cheese, and eggs also arrived safely in Kimmirut too!! PS.
