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
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.
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
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!
@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
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.
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.
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
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 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.
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).
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.
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 !
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!
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 :(
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!
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!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Love a 737-200! First thing I flew on as a kid in the late 80’s/early 90’s we used to go to various resorts in Spain twice a year for a traditional package holiday always with Thomson Holidays who used their own charter airline Britannia for the flights which in the was all 737-200s on the Cardiff or Bristol (back when it tiny) routes. Obviously being a kid I took the window seat and used to love when we got a row just behind the wing and see the flaps and thrust reverser buckets operating and the scream of the P&W jets just brings back all the memories, even the cockpit because back then it was common to be able to go up and the pilots would tell you what certain things were. I was gutted in the way only a child can be when they replaced the 737s all with 757s.
My first landing in Iqaluit, so impressed! weather must have been very choppy by the way the pilot had to pole the plane on landing. Greetings from down under. (Australia)
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.
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.

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 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.
-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.
That's so weird to watch! I fly chrono a lot, when I fly to Fermont, Quebec for work, we fly on Chrono 737s and I also went to Mary River twice back in 2017 but then it was Nolinor Aviation who held the contract for the Baffinland Iron Mine!
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.
An unusual airplane. Used to be used a lot in Alaska before arctic runways were paved and cleared more better. Also now more flights with high wing turboprops. But the 737s have been the modern version of the venerable DC-3. Rugged, dependable, everywhere.
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.
I've learnt a lot in this video. The classic 200 is really a beast in Northern canada. I didn't know they could land on gravel, wow. The crew seem to have a lot of fun operating in those conditions
I know right? In the old days, a lot of captains had big egos and some of them bullied the F/O and F/E. The worst aviation disaster in history was caused (partially) by an egotistic captain who ignored a tower instruction.
Hi Sam,, was a very good video,, loved seeing life in extreme,, amazing,, if you can please spend some more time in mines to show their life, and places nearby,,
Great video Sam. Glad you enjoyed your experience, Canada and the North are kinda cold in winter but the people are so warm that you forget and enjoy it. That 737 of Chrono's with the black livery is so sharp and recognizable, I see it at YHU all the time. Wish them well, a professional crew !
"Matblack" must be the greatest callsign ever !!
Yup
*matteblack
Speedbird (the British Airways callsign) has to be the greatest.
What about the call sign “night watch”
True
Old but gold...best explanation of a 737-200 I've heard.
Old with mold
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!
Both are cool
Does JC's parents know where he is and what he is doing?? Kidding! That's awesome. So young and accomplished.
Looks like a boy band member lol. So cute.
yeah... he is also handsome yoo
The blacked out 737-200 looks absolutely gorgeous
I like it too
It's intended to reduce heat loss in such cold temperatures.

If you ever landed on soft snow its similar.
Those older jt8d engines had a sound that will never be duplicated. It’s a really nostalgic sound for me…

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.
Awesome video! I was surprised to see Chris the captain, he was one of my flight instructors 15 years ago! Nice to see him flying for Chrono.
Small world!
The Boeing 737-200 is never gets old ! What a wonderful plane ❤
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.
Chris Kyle died in the battle rip Massachusetts
@@kilroy4843 agreed
Love the all black fuselage and shrouds. The red trim is also perfect. My guess is that it makes the aircraft easy to find crashed in snow
That's so weird to watch! I fly chrono a lot, when I fly to Fermont, Quebec for work, we fly on Chrono 737s and I also went to Mary River twice back in 2017 but then it was Nolinor Aviation who held the contract for the Baffinland Iron Mine!
the warm light of the mechanical instruments in a classic 737 in the night are such a vibe
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.
How cool both the captains are!
An unusual airplane. Used to be used a lot in Alaska before arctic runways were paved and cleared more better. Also now more flights with high wing turboprops. But the 737s have been the modern version of the venerable DC-3. Rugged, dependable, everywhere.
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.
Thanks Sam!! You treat people with kindness and approach situations with adventure, I always enjoy your videos bro :)
Great video. The plane is "old but gold". What an experience. TY.
That's a gem of a video, Sam. What an experience for you. And great respect to the two young men on the deck. Thank you Sam.
I've learnt a lot in this video. The classic 200 is really a beast in Northern canada. I didn't know they could land on gravel, wow. The crew seem to have a lot of fun operating in those conditions
Really cool video, what a great flight crew, they work so well together and the Captain’s coaching and training was really well done.
I know right? In the old days, a lot of captains had big egos and some of them bullied the F/O and F/E. The worst aviation disaster in history was caused (partially) by an egotistic captain who ignored a tower instruction.
Glad to see young pilot that still can fly analog
thank you for sharing this Sam loved it is the best AV GEEK CONTENT EVER BASICALLY I LIKED THE CANADIAN NATURE LIKE BAFF
this episode is pure master class
Incredible trip!! Thanks for sharing it with us.
Hi Sam,, was a very good video,, loved seeing life in extreme,, amazing,, if you can please spend some more time in mines to show their life, and places nearby,,
A well maintained jetliner could last a lifetime. Nice to see a jetliner as old as me still flying.
This was so cool! Awesome to see different aspects of aviation within this environment. The crews at all of these airports are true pros!
I take this trip every 3 weeks, thank you for this video! I love showing my family ❤❤
Great video Sam. Glad you enjoyed your experience, Canada and the North are kinda cold in winter but the people are so warm that you forget and enjoy it. That 737 of Chrono's with the black livery is so sharp and recognizable, I see it at YHU all the time. Wish them well, a professional crew !
Incredibly skilled pilots, great to watch them land an airplane on a gravel runway smoother than any Ryanair flight :D
