    I remember spring 1978 as a tubby 18 yo working at NWT Air loading planes in Yellowknife…Buffalo wasn’t around back then….but Joe probably was. Bit of a tough environment for a soft kid from Vancouver but enjoyed every minute of it….especially rolling those 45 gallon drums of jet fuel up the the aisle of the DC3, then standing them up one man style…..one quick lift, then wait for the fluid motion….and go for the stand up. I’ll never forget that.

    Joe is no longer in charge of the company. I'm not sure they even exist today. Joe had to step down after getting into trouble by overloading his planes as he never said, "No" to customers and would add extra things on the plane which in turn made the plane overweight. I believe Canada Transport also had an issue with how Joe transported fuel. It wasn't being carried like it was supposed to be via regulations. Joe having to stepdown took place in 2015.

    Why is Prefkar, the Indian trainee pilot made out to look like he’s never flown a plane before. Surely, he is already a pilot.
    Many references are made to him ‘wanting to be a pilot’, or he’s only flown a flight simm, and he’s come to the north to learn to fly.
    There is no reference to his past training or qualifications.

      As for the medicine, freezing, that was planned drama for the documentary. The filming crew had spotted it and zoomed in, they would have definitely told him.
