Excellent video of Canadian North service to Iqaluit. I am a commercial aircraft enthusiast also. I had the good fortune of flying up to Resolute Bay, then in the NWT, now Nunavut, in late August of 1988 from Edmonton. This brings back so many wonderful memories of flying in the High Arctic. I flew Air Canada from Chicago to Edmonton with a change in Winnipeg. Overnighted in YEG and then took a Canadian Airlines International Boeing 737 200 Combi (still in old Pacific Western colors) to Resolute with stops in Yellowknife and Cambridge Bay. We stayed in YRB for 3 nights and flew back the same route. What an incredible experience!! It is now going on 31 years since I made this trip. I would so love to do it again. If only I had the great video cameras of today to have recorded it. I do have it on an old VHS tape which I cherish to this day. Thanks again for sharing your wonderful trip to Iqaluit. It was just like being there with you.
Pretty sweet review! I really like "Empress'" livery. So you've experienced CDN North and First Air, maybe you could try flying with Air Inuit out of Montreal some time! They use 737-200's :)
I know this is an older report, but I really love the sound of the flap actuators. It feels silly that I miss it on the newer 737 aircraft, but that sound was an integral part of the flying experience when I was little.
Agreed. Major flashbacks to my first flights when I was barely old enough to remember the experience. I can remember that exact sound, but I didn’t know what it was at that time. All I knew was that it meant the flight was almost over.
This Q re-view is brought to you by jus de tomate. Been a while since I first saw this video and I forgot just how wonderful it is. very well photographed from start to finish, and a teddy bear that just about steals the show. And of course the obligatory put your camera away but we know how that ended. Well done Quebec Foxtrot Sierra and thanks for sharing!!!
Just discovered your videos. They’re awesome. I’ve been to YFB several times myself. Too bad you didn’t get to spend the night in Iqaluit. It’s a completely different part of Canada that very few Canadians will ever visit.
you must have gotten to YOW at O-dark hundred......nice shots at the airport....do like the new colors (black tail with red maple leaf)....your sound is magnificent ...with my Bose headset, I could enjoy ALL the sounds kinda like Binaural 3D clarity ....how much drag is that loose strip creating...great watching the triple/slotted flaps in operation.....Fowler design..... cups did have a frosty look to them ...wonder why the "no camera" issue......top secret...haha....ATR had early issues with wing icing/deicing boots....SILVER Airways is getting them....how long did you have to stay at YFB.....great vid Quintin
Great video! Can't wait to show Avery her Teddy Bear's trip home (24:51) on the airplane! There is the "Montreal Soaring Club" in Hawkesbury, Ontario 5 minutes from our lake, it would be an awesome video inside a soaring plane, if you have the stomach to do it..and if they would allow...it was a pleasure meeting you and hope to see you on a plane again!
Probably a security alarm on a gate door out to the field, actually. In most airports, I’ve noticed that they sound like that, despite that “temporal 3” code pattern being standard for most fire alarm systems in the 21st century. Often, an employee forgets to enter the code. About half the time I fly I hear one go off.
It appears that First Air and Canadian North are going to merge. Not sure if this is going to be to the detriment to ticket prices (which are already quite high).
This is my 1st vid I seen of u! Was recommended, and I subbed str8 the way, things I like, I do like to see interiors of aircraft, e.g. overhead controls and stuff, so glad u do that. Also I like seeing diff safety cards so thanks for showing them in detail too, and thanks for showing proper uncut take off’s, u earn an extra sub, and keep all these coming..
Really impressed with this airline. I've seen them couple times here at JFK. Doing charters. Hot breakfast? I haven't seen one of those on a domestic flight since I was a kid. And I'm 40. Good to see props getting some usage. Real hard to see them now in the states.
Late response, but no. I used to travel a lot when I was a kid, not so much anymore. I think it's a gate alarm. I believe it happens when the jetway or gate closes
Awesome video man! I thought you can't fly up there by plane. I heard you missed your next flight. Did you end up taking another one, staying at a hotel, etc?
Couple reasons for this: * Airbus did its cold weather testing for the A380 in Iqaluit. * Iqaluit is a very common diversion airport for Polar route flights.
Normally they head to MONTREAL but they had to fly to Ottawa because of they were running low of fuel and they couldn't land in Toronto because of thunderstorms.
34:39 why do you think the ATRs look scary/unsafe? They are much more enjoyable to fly on than Dash 8s imo (especially the -600 series is amazing), but i guess it is all just personal preference...
Exaggerating things a bit, you can choose whether to fall like a boulder due to ice on the wings of an ATR or crash-land with a landing gear collapse on a Dash 8... American Eagle retired its ATRs due to the former problem and SAS retired its Dash 8's almost overnight due to the latter. But since I live in a tropical country, the ATR has a flawless safety record here. The Dash 8 is not flown here.
Aircraft Mechanic here. Aircraft are completely safe if used and maintained correctly and crew are properly trained. Have a nice day. Airtravel is safer than cars.
Being that you're a teenager,noticing the date of travel,on a Sunday in late April--did you have to be back to school Monday morning? If so,you can tell friends that you had an exotic weekend!
Really love Canada. Cant wait to go there. Airline seems really nice, sorry they werent larger but that $650 ticket tho! And I actually was impressed with that B737-300. YFB didnt seemed that friendly.
Good trip report Quintin This is the Airport Airbus have conducted cold weather testing of the A380, A320neo & the A350 How long did you have to wait for your return flight seeing you missed your connection with First Air.
Nice video, can you come to Halifax sometime? (East coast of Canada) i live there and we have a nice little 4 million passenger a year airport with service to lots of Canadian cities, Paris, London, Boston LaGuardia and Newark.
No major U.S. carrier operates 737 Classics any more, but there are a few remaining active ones in small charter and cargo airlines, such as Amerijet, Miami Air and Aloha Air Cargo.
Hey! Last night, I tried to e-mail at the address that you've listed (quintin@qfsaviation.com) but it bounced. Do you have another e-mail address that I could use to contact you? I have some ATC clips that I obtained from LiveATC on these two Canadian North flights that you were on that I want to send you.

That breakfast looked pretty darn good....and Canadian North does have one of the best liveries out there.
Thanks QFS !!!
That Canada North livery is awesome !
Love the cabin safety card... "In case of emergency landing, beware of polar bears!"
Hahahah I agree!
No ones made a trip report with Canadian North yet this is Awesome!!!
Ikr! Thanks!
Pretty sweet review! I really like "Empress'" livery. So you've experienced CDN North and First Air, maybe you could try flying with Air Inuit out of Montreal some time! They use 737-200's :)
Thanks! Yeah same. I want to do Air Inuit or Air North next
Canadian Plane Spotter Yes! I want it to)
Air Canada's livery is pretty sweet
great report! cool place..always wanted to go to Nunavut. Funny "put that camera away", "no im not putting it away" :))
Thanks! Yeah hahahaha.
QFS Aviation Whats up with the person saying to you put that away 😞
I know this is an older report, but I really love the sound of the flap actuators. It feels silly that I miss it on the newer 737 aircraft, but that sound was an integral part of the flying experience when I was little.
Yeah I agree. The classic versions are amazing to me too!

Wow! What an amazing trip report and what an adventure. Glad you met nice people out there.
Thanks! Yeah many nice people up there
Absolutely awesome video, always wanted to see a Canadian North's trip report.
Thanks! Yeah I realized nobody did it so I decided too

Nice report. :) Nice to see a few reports on a few unknown airlines.... Especially when you, like me can´t afford to fly them......
Thanks! Yeah I agree it’s nice to see unknown airlines
0:38 Wait, what?? What is that A380 doing there???
Cold weather testing 😂
@@QFSAviation Wow! Thanks :)
I Love This Trip Report going from Quebec to Iqaluit.
The dash 8 is an AMAZING aircraft
Agreed
that's a 737
CS Aviation I agree
Awesome trip report! I’ve always found these kind of trips to the far north very interesting. Thank you!
Awesome video man! Gorgeous livery too!
Thanks! Agreed
great trip report
Thanks!
Brilliant video of this airline. Great job! =D
Thanks!

Great vid, why was the fire alarm going off at 5:10?
Thanks! It was loud, and I'm not sure why it was on
Probably a security alarm on a gate door out to the field, actually. In most airports, I’ve noticed that they sound like that, despite that “temporal 3” code pattern being standard for most fire alarm systems in the 21st century. Often, an employee forgets to enter the code. About half the time I fly I hear one go off.
0:35 Did I just saw an A380? How come there is one out in this chilly town?
Fantastic trip report man! Keep up the good work. Just subscribed to your channel, and looking forward to seeing more of your videos. 👊
It appears that First Air and Canadian North are going to merge. Not sure if this is going to be to the detriment to ticket prices (which are already quite high).
Actualy I believe it is First Air and Canadian North. I'm sure this will bring ticket prices up, as there won't be any other competition.
@@QFSAviation fly from moscow vnukovo to tyumen with utair ok? Or no?
Nice to see the -200 still going strong!We got rid of our last -300/400 7yrs ago here in BEL.
great video! It's nice to have a meal on domestic flight
Yay! I work with Canadian North and live in Iqaluit Nunavut ❤️
One of your better vids although I missed your numerical breakdown of what you thought.
This was before I started implementing those into my videos. Thanks!
Nice video! Love the 737 combo Pax/Cargo.
Thanks! I agree
What a cool flight report! Great work
Thanks!
awesome trip report.
This is my 1st vid I seen of u! Was recommended, and I subbed str8 the way, things I like, I do like to see interiors of aircraft, e.g. overhead controls and stuff, so glad u do that. Also I like seeing diff safety cards so thanks for showing them in detail too, and thanks for showing proper uncut take off’s, u earn an extra sub, and keep all these coming..
Thanks! That's awesome, because it's exactly what I do!
Wow, you are the only other person I’ve ever run into that traveled to Iqaluit. I did too on Canadian North. Cold huh?! 🥶
What a nice video and Question: What is the name of the song that you used in that outro?
Yeah, it's definitely an ottawa iqaluit flight, did this many times
Nice one mate! Enjoyed it! Very detailed, as always impressive stuff. Hope you weren’t stuck up North for too long! Liked! :)
Thanks! Yeah it wasn’t for too long
Really impressed with this airline. I've seen them couple times here at JFK. Doing charters. Hot breakfast? I haven't seen one of those on a domestic flight since I was a kid. And I'm 40. Good to see props getting some usage. Real hard to see them now in the states.
Nice video, and I do agree, I love the polar bear logo!
Thank you! Isn’t is lovely
Fabolus trip report video. Whats is the name of the music.
Amazing report! Love it, keep it up! Liked!
Thanks!
Amazing trip report. Btw can you also name the song from the Audio Library which you used between 19:29 and 20:59?
Thanks! Sorry but I’m not sure, and I don’t have the FCPX file anymore.
your trip reports are amazing!!
Thanks a lot!
Free meal !!very funny . You paid with your ticket .
Yep lol
Great video
Thanks!
QFS Aviation I'm in the travel industry
Awesome
Nice video
That snap map was one of my favorite parts ngl lol
Hahaha I've got no friends up there :(
Ottawa is right up there with my favourite airports. Really nice interior
Have you seen Tampa Lately
5:07 fire drill???
Late response, but no. I used to travel a lot when I was a kid, not so much anymore. I think it's a gate alarm. I believe it happens when the jetway or gate closes
19:20 can everybody tell me what is the music?? I like that
Wow nice meal! They fly to Greenland I think.
Ikr! I think they fly to Nuuk
Love it
Thanks!
Did you enjoy your time in Ottawa? I live here haha.
I wish lol. I stayed the night on a bench in the arrivals hall
Thanks for sharing.. nice video
Thanks!
Awesome video man! I thought you can't fly up there by plane.
I heard you missed your next flight. Did you end up taking another one, staying at a hotel, etc?
I thought it was all charter. Yeah I missed it, 5T rebooked me
Interesting that the one person on the apron wanted you to put the camera away lol. It's not illegal to film on aircraft or at airports in Canada.
Either people are ignorant of the laws or they want to feel important.
so maybeeeeeee i was right lol 23:05 cheers!! so how long did you have to wait for a return since you missed the flight back? good report Qman
Hahahaha. I didn’t wait too long... thanks!
Is there gonna be a first airstrip report??? and air north??
I wish... maybe in the near future
Loved it. May I know the detail of BGM used ? It was pleasant actually.
Thanks! Sorry but I can't remember off the top of my head, maybe Shazam could find it though!
Dyalla- Happy is the BGM :)
@@jcali890 Thanks for the music title mate
I didn't know WestJet had Dash8's....I love that aircraft.
WestJet's Dash 8 Q-400 are under their Westjet Encore brand
Nice Report. Never heard of this airline (More than likely because I live in Australia🇦🇺😂).
Lol they aren’t a very well known airline. That’s why I chose them!
Great video! Combi aircraft are awesome :)
Thanks! I agree
I missed my one chance to fly on a Fokker F100 when American Airlines switched the aircraft at the last minute. Wish Fokker was still in business!
Well done
Thanks!
Ottawa airport has grown a lot since I was there in 1974 and 1975.
Yeah it’s becoming a major airport
0:37 was that really an A380 in a town that looks way too small for it?
Can you fly Bearskin Airlines next lol? That would be an interesting one.
Couple reasons for this:
* Airbus did its cold weather testing for the A380 in Iqaluit.
* Iqaluit is a very common diversion airport for Polar route flights.
Normally they head to MONTREAL but they had to fly to Ottawa because of they were running low of fuel and they couldn't land in Toronto because of thunderstorms.
Love you vid❤️
Damn they have a Dash 8 Q100. Those are so rare these days. and I thought the Q200 was tiny
Yeah! I actually believe they're the same size. The difference is in the propeller (range, landing/takeoff roll, etc.)
34:39 why do you think the ATRs look scary/unsafe? They are much more enjoyable to fly on than Dash 8s imo (especially the -600 series is amazing), but i guess it is all just personal preference...
Jstn Hrtng
They have had a worse history than the dash 8.....

Great Video! do you know if any other carriers still operate tthe 737-300C?
Thanks! Not many, if ant
you should do a trip report of delta skywest crj 200
I will soon! I had previously filmed one, but it didn’t come out good. I’m doing another one in July
They are crap lol windows are too low to see out
If anything, do a delta crj 700/900, the crj 200 is too shitty to even be considered a plane
25:18 Yikes! I would've alerted the crew to alert the pilots about that
Little things like that are nothing much usually
Amazing!! How much was the ticket?
Thanks! $650
ZS Aviation HD 650!??
flying in Canada isn't cheap
Yup
Canadian $ though so about US $ 450.
Being that you're a teenager,noticing the date of travel,on a Sunday in late April--did you have to be back to school Monday morning? If so,you can tell friends that you had an exotic weekend!
Oh yeah hahaha my global teachers jaw was dropped when I showed it to him on a map.
Why was the fire alarm going off at the boarding gate???
Really love Canada. Cant wait to go there. Airline seems really nice, sorry they werent larger but that $650 ticket tho! And I actually was impressed with that B737-300. YFB didnt seemed that friendly.
Same. It is very nice. Yeah it was quite pricey. YFB was fine I guess
4:42i'm confused. were you planning to stay an hour only in Iqaluit and come back to Ottawa or go somewhere else from there?
Yeah I flew up to Iqaluit just to return to Ottawa an hour later! Lmao
ok got it
No reverse thrust in landing?
Good trip report Quintin This is the Airport Airbus have conducted cold weather testing of the A380, A320neo & the A350 How long did you have to wait for your return flight seeing you missed your connection with First Air.
Thanks! Yeah. I didn’t have a long layover, as 5T was able to rebook me on the next flight out
You should fly to winnipeg or sum please!
It's Awesome!!!!
Classic 737!!!!!!!!! It’s a 200 or 300 series! Combi
Great Vid :)
Thanks!
Nice video, can you come to Halifax sometime? (East coast of Canada) i live there and we have a nice little 4 million passenger a year airport with service to lots of Canadian cities, Paris, London, Boston LaGuardia and Newark.
Thanks! Yeah its definitely on my bucket list! Nova Scotia looks beautiful!
Does any Us airline still opertate the 737-300 classic. Southwest retired their a few months ago.
No major U.S. carrier operates 737 Classics any more, but there are a few remaining active ones in small charter and cargo airlines, such as Amerijet, Miami Air and Aloha Air Cargo.
Yeah ^
My Dutch company operates a few -700 aircrafts
Classics are converted into cargo conversions. They will be sent abroad when you can't legally fly them in the US.
Congrats on finding a route with the Combi. How much did the trip cost?
Yeah, it took some work. It cost a lot... I believe around $700
Try calm air out of winnipeg. Or bearaskin or perimeter!
How long is the flight?
I really like the background music what is it?
Dennis Charles Dyalla- Happy
@@jcali890 do you know music titles in 19:20 ??
09:00 armrest with face hahaha
15:44 RIP that 727-200
I filled the bar trolleys for this flight!
Too bad you didn't try out Canadian North (or First Air) sooner, they operated Boeing 737-200s!
Yeah ik 😫😭😞😔😟

I wish I could have flown on the -200 :(
Whut name of the song? Plz tell me
Many years ago, an American Eagle ATR-72 crashed in a field in Indiana. Everyone on board was killed in that accident.
