Hey Sam! you should go to the North Pole in your next adventure✨✨👑👑 This was mine last time (turn on English sub since im indonesian) th-cam.com/video/F1-tueInoN0/w-d-xo.html
That's just one of many mines, other mines have different contacts with different airlines. Id love to see Buffalo Airways and thier new 737 get some contacts!
they take the 737 quite a bit further north as well. Check out Norwegian, they land their 737 at the Svalbard archipelago, which is at 78°N which is another 500 miles north of Mary River
Its only in aviation where u realise that a pilot isn't just a pilot as their level of experience is not the same.these pilots are great knowing how to manoeuvre,land and even navigate on the extreme conditions.congrats to them
I am B2 aircraft engineer. I worked 6 years on B737-200, it was also my basic aircraft. Currently i am working on B737 NG and A320. I can’t tell you how much it make happy to see again B737-200 in such a good condition. You captured whole flt and aircraft brilliantly.
@Viral Thunder Don't be a hater with your dumb comments!! Guaranteed that young man made it through to where he is on his own merit. I personally know plenty of pilots who have made it to where they are on their own sweat and and sacrifice....including my own Son. Instead of criticizing others and feeling so much pity for yourself, get out there and follow your dreams...that was perseverance and hard work is all about. Good day
@Viral Thunder because you made a comment discrediting the original compliment and it sounds like you are an insecure kid trying to knock someone’s accomplishments
The interactions Sam has with crew, make the videos so good. Would love to see him do more destination videos like Istanbul. Sam is tv gold in my country even saw him on channel5 documentary about air travel.
This is AWESOME... SO young to be pilots and so amazing at what they do.. Watch the pilots perfect adjustments while never taking his eyes off the runway.. Like a BOSS.
One of your best videos. Love how the Capt had his hand off totally when the F/o was landing on the gravel. Asian aviation folks would understand the context!
As a retired airline pilot my favourite jet will always be the B737-200 but I never landed on gravel! You cannot beat those target type thrust reversers for stopping on landing - bags of aerodynamic drag the instant you crack them open. What a smart professional crew - Sam this was a fab video.
Great episode - loved it. Brings back special memories for me. I flew several times back and forth from Trenton, Ontario (near Toronto) to CFS Alert (world's most northerly permanently inhabited settlement at the northern tip of Ellesmere Island, 800 km from the North Pole) in a C-130 Hercules back in the 1980's. It was an 8 hour flight straight north with a stop in Resolute (you have to be Resolute to live there because it is nothing in the middle of nowhere!). We actually got stranded on one occasion due to winter storms - there have been several fatal crashes at that gravel airstrip which is directly above the frozen Arctic Ocean. It was an adventure of a lifetime when I went up there and I will never forget it. Most Canadians have never been North of 60 degrees, beyond which lies more than half of the country! The Last Frontier.
@@jakelivni9576 Many Canadian villages further north than Barrow. I was attach posted to Canadian Forces Station (CFS) Alert (NWT) in October 68 from CFS Inuvik (NWT) and flew by Herc for my 6 month tour of duty at the world's most northerly inhabited military facility. During my tour I got to fly to USAF Base Thule Greenland for a day during Operation Boxtop, also on a Herc. Second greatest plane ever made after the Dakota. Never went back to the Arctic after those six months in Alert as I was posted to a destroyer and spent most of the rest of my 26 year Navy career at sea.
WOW! Just wow! That flight was off-the-charts. Going that far north & landing on a gravel runway is amazing. You've outdone yourself with this one. Plus, you had a respite in the mining camp with all that great accommodation. I thought the airport in Dawson City with the winds, gravel runway and mountain face was exciting. By the way, the pilots were so collected with all the conditions. That description of the runway and wind was delivered in such a matter-of-fact tone; I replayed that part several times to make sure I heard it correctly. Roll on, Sam Chui. My day's feeling better already.
@@nagasako7 All those mines in the north have their owns airstrips. As there is no roads whatsoever. FWIW, Chrono Aviation is not owned by a mine but is an independant carrier based in the south shore of Montréal - St-Hubert (YHU).
Kudos to the Flight Crew-Chrono Aviation-they earn their paycheque everyday ! This is no ordinary flight crew task ! Arctic travel by plane is exceptional ! Thanks for sharing this journey ! God bless the crew !
Your classic aviation videos are top-notch. Just like your B727-200 video from Somalia a few weeks ago this one is amazing again. "Matblack" also an amazing callsign for the Black B732 :D
I see you catch Cargo flights. That’s awesome :) Do you by chance have any videos on your channel of Evergreen International Airlines? My dad is retired now, but he used to fly for them for 20 years, so I’ve been trying to put together a compilation for him. Was able to find some videos of the 747 he flew, but not many :(
Amazing video and those two pilots were top-notch. The younger guy looked too young to fly, but it was amazing to see he landed the plane on the gravel. Excellent work to the young man. Really great to see an older plane fly like that. Great stuff. Thanks again Sam.
Between Boeing and Airbus, only the old 737-200 can be fitted with a gravel kit. (With today's certification standards, not sure that even this 737-200 with gravel kit could be certified) Chrono definitely has a great kwowledge with this aircraft with gravel kits.
i love that sound when the engine roaring during take off.. there is no commercial airline in my country still operate this 737-200 but the military still keep some of it and i love when they pass over my house, that sound give me eargasm
I really enjoyed this video, its an extreme flight in the cold, and very skillful pilots, seeing JC landing the plane was really awesome, the call sign Matblack is great.
So fun to watch a Sam Chui video about Canada, In Canada wrapped in a blanket not doing anything because it just snowed 30 centimetres (1 foot) in the last couple of days. I hope you come back again!!
outstanding. its GREAT to see the 39 year old baby Boeing STILL performing its designed role, and under the harshest of conditions! One has to wonder how many cycles it has endured. I see Chronr has 4 9f 5 73's and 1 Dash 8 working the Great White.. Congrats!
I don't know if you have ever been on a hercules 130 but that experience is one of the most sureal trips I have ever taken. You have to experience that type of travel once or twice in your life. It is truly something you will never forget especially when it is up to 450 miles from the north pole.
Incredible landing on the gravel. I found this channel during the pandemic. I swear it kept me sane, and hopeful that as humans we can get through anything. Thank you Sam.
What a beautiful aircraft. The 737-200 is superbly suited for the work it does. A marvel of design and engineering. What makes an aircraft of this type, obsolete? Nothing, in my opinion.
It costs more money to operate and to maintain due to its age, and the JT8D engines fuel consumption isn't optimal. Given the unique gravel strip capabilities of the 737-200, these would be an acceptable trade off, however the longer these aircraft fly the more wear and tear the airframes get. There is a limit to how many flight hours and pressurization cycles an individual aircraft can safely operate. And there aren't really any low flight time 737-200s left in the world to replace them with. Once the existing fleet is worn out, they'll be retired.
Sam does it all - nice slant on aviation that most never get to see nor certainly experience. Brought back memories of my time spent in Alaska when I was in the USAF - COLD - but the Summers were fine. Tougher on Sam given he is from much warmer climes.
This was a cool one for sure. In one of my former lives I was a simulator tech on a 737-200 so I know the aircraft very well. They were real work horses and super engineered. In another former life I worked in the arctic and made many flights up there including on the 737-200 with the gravel kit on gravel runways. It always amazed me to what was a modern jet back then, land on gravel.
What a fantastic BUZZ from all this ..Young pilots and crew experiencing formative moments in their lives whilst helping humanity pursue theirs..?and a smiling enthusiastic guy narrating …WOW FACTOR 100! Lovely to share your obvious Exhileration.
This guy sure is a pleasure (on you tube)!!! I have been watching his videos for years and have always been a fan up until yesterday! He was behind me in line at a store, when I turned around I was almost star struck! Told him how much I enjoy his videos and how much of a pleasure it was to meet him. Literally his reply was “THATS NICE” and then turned away from me. You always hear stories of how celebrities act off camera to their fans, I can say from personal experience Sam Chui is rude & could care less about fans!
Here in India we have soldiers deployed at Siachen glacier at 18000 feet where temperature goes to -50C in the winters.Kudos to all such people defying mother nature to keep things working.
I worked for the FBO in Iqaluit for about 10 months through 2020, and it was one of the most unique and best experiences of my life. I always saw these beautiful jets fly in and out at all times of the day and night. Iqaluit is really small and built on the side of cliffs, so you can hear airport activity throughout the entire city. You’d here them takeoff at like 3am and wake up, have a mini avgeek freak out and then fall back asleep. It’s cool to see footage of Mary River because you here a lot about the place but there are so few picture of it on the internet!
Last year in October I got to see C-FBIM land in Halifax, Chrono was chartering a university football team here for a game. It was first and so far only time I have seen a 737-200 in person. It sure is a beautiful and classic plane, and it was great to see this video. Thanks Sam! ❤
I’m a Canadian too if we went to Dubai when it was plus 50C we’d be complaining too. People are climatized to different weather. Minus 30 would be a real shock if you weren’t use to it. Anything below -30 is kinda unpleasant, might have also had high humidity.
Hi Sam, sooo glad you got to experience this adventure. As an aviation geek myself, I flew to the Canadian Arctic also in August of 1988 aboard a Canadian Airlines International 737 200 freighter/pxr combi to Resolute Bay (YRB) from Edmonton (YEG) with stops at Yellowknife (YZF) and Cambridge Bay (YCB). Our aircraft was actually a Pacific Western Airlines 737 200 with their logo and color scheme, they had just merged into Canadian Airlines Intl. It is hands down, my favorite trip of all time!! Just like your Chrono 737, we, too, had the gravel deflectors and vortex dissapators on our plane. There was snow also in YRB, we had to stay there 4 days until the next flight back to YEG. We stayed at the, then, Arctic Intl. Explorers Home. I don't think it is there any more, but it was such a thrill to be a part of that community for the 4 days. I would do it again in a heart beat. Thank you so much for sharing this video. I'm so happy for you that you got to do this.
Sam. Old Canadian lad here. I have watched your channel from time to time. Flights like this are SO much more interesting to see than 1st class flights from Abu D or some such. Maybe hookup witt the guys from Buffalo Air. You just showed chutzpah. Keep it up!!!! Getting out of ones 'comfort zone' is a good thing. And. The Black Horse. Beautiful. With supremely confident and cool young bucks at the helm. Awesome.
-30 aint that bad. Once you hit -40 you just dont keep feeling a difference from there. Worst ive had to deal with was -65f with winds 40 gusting 60mph while overwing fueling a lear 35 with tip tanks.
The BEST on TH-cam! Such a great video, Sam! Felt like I was with you on this great journey through Northern Canada. Thank you for making and sharing these great videos with us!!
I live near St-Hubert airport (yhu) and, from my house, I see the Chrono 737-200 take-off every day. And during the time I watch this video, a Chrono 737 take-off at this time😁

These videos, about flying on the older planes are so much better than the First Class / Business Class reviews on the modern airliners
Especially because it's something that AvGeeks can actually do, as opposed to the unobtainable prices that First Class and business class command.
Agree - most likely a lot better for Sam's cholesterol levels too. No bubbly, no caviare, no cheese. Keep on rocking it Sam!

thank you for sharing this Sam loved it is the best AV GEEK CONTENT EVER BASICALLY I LIKED THE CANADIAN NATURE LIKE BAFF
Sam - The temperature (at 7:16) of -30 Celsius is not really that cold. I have been in places in Canada and elsewhere that are much colder.
I’m a Canadian too if we went to Dubai when it was plus 50C we’d be complaining too. People are climatized to different weather. Minus 30 would be a real shock if you weren’t use to it. Anything below -30 is kinda unpleasant, might have also had high humidity.
@@DMSparky I have been to Dubai and other hot countries. They say it's a dry heat, but you still melt like ice cream.
Hi Sam, sooo glad you got to experience this adventure. As an aviation geek myself, I flew to the Canadian Arctic also in August of 1988 aboard a Canadian Airlines International 737 200 freighter/pxr combi to Resolute Bay (YRB) from Edmonton (YEG) with stops at Yellowknife (YZF) and Cambridge Bay (YCB). Our aircraft was actually a Pacific Western Airlines 737 200 with their logo and color scheme, they had just merged into Canadian Airlines Intl. It is hands down, my favorite trip of all time!! Just like your Chrono 737, we, too, had the gravel deflectors and vortex dissapators on our plane. There was snow also in YRB, we had to stay there 4 days until the next flight back to YEG. We stayed at the, then, Arctic Intl. Explorers Home. I don't think it is there any more, but it was such a thrill to be a part of that community for the 4 days. I would do it again in a heart beat. Thank you so much for sharing this video. I'm so happy for you that you got to do this.
What a plane, what a trip, what a video! Thank you, Sam! 😄👋👋
the warm light of the mechanical instruments in a classic 737 in the night are such a vibe
My goodness! What a great video and an awesome experience Sam! Thanks for taking us on the journey.
Sam. Old Canadian lad here. I have watched your channel from time to time. Flights like this are SO much more interesting to see than 1st class flights from Abu D or some such. Maybe hookup witt the guys from Buffalo Air. You just showed chutzpah. Keep it up!!!! Getting out of ones 'comfort zone' is a good thing. And. The Black Horse. Beautiful. With supremely confident and cool young bucks at the helm. Awesome.
Great flight crew! Love the call sign of the plane. Had to laugh when all the locals say it's not that cold... Burrrr...... ✈✈✈👍👍👍
-30 aint that bad. Once you hit -40 you just dont keep feeling a difference from there. Worst ive had to deal with was -65f with winds 40 gusting 60mph while overwing fueling a lear 35 with tip tanks.

Pretty cool how the Canucks are keeping these 737-200's flying, love it. Oh and that stewardess is beautiful!
Spectacular. Great footage, Sam (and my commiserations for the cold - brrrh) & great crew. The 737-200 was the first ever jet I flew on as kid.
Love these airplanes! Thanks so much for making this video and thanks to Chrono Aviation!
One of best flight journey videos. Some good technical details to know. Good one Sam 👍👏
Great video. The plane is "old but gold". What an experience. TY.
The whole video is incredible Sam. What an experience! including the accommodation at the mine. What a skilled crew too.
Never seen such a well-equipped B737 classic… I flew them in Brazil and they were really old school… It’s a wonderful aircraft 👍🏼👍🏼
The BEST on TH-cam! Such a great video, Sam! Felt like I was with you on this great journey through Northern Canada. Thank you for making and sharing these great videos with us!!
I take this trip every 3 weeks, thank you for this video! I love showing my family ❤❤
I live near St-Hubert airport (yhu) and, from my house, I see the Chrono 737-200 take-off every day. And during the time I watch this video, a Chrono 737 take-off at this time😁
You ate so lucky
It has to sound so great
Mais ils ne sont pas très silencieux...😉

@@shanegagnon3423 est-ce que j'ai dit que ça me dérangeait? J'ai acheté une maison près de l'aéroport en pleine connaissance de cause. Au contraire, j'adore voir les avion décoller et atterrir.
