While I definitely appreciate your project, you keep giving me heart attacks each time I open BCP and see that thread title.

BC Tundra,

This place is where I first met Wild Bill. I was supporting a mineral exploration for a few months out of Terra Camp for Anglo American in the summer of 2008. Bill would deliver our Jet A with his Skyvan, unfortunately he never came with the C-123. He would often stay for coffee or lunch but I was only around a couple times. What a super guy with loads of experience...wish I had a chance to hear more of his stories.

The Revelation mountain range is the most beautiful place I've ever seen or flown, hands down...

Thanks Bart! Those photos and very short story are what I'm looking for... that photo looking at the mountains is quite spectacular hence the name "Revelation Mountain" I suspect!

That exact skyvan is now operating in the Yukon out of Whitehorse under Nomad air...doing the exact same type of work, hauling freight/fuel/trucks/drills/tractors/quads, etc...really the load you can put in the skyvan is up to your imagination

Keep them coming folks, cheers!
