On May 10th, Air North, Yukon's Airline, flew their first flight from Whitehorse to Toronto, via Yellowknife!
This new route will have a huge economic impact on Canada's North, as the very first time that the Northwest Territories and Yukon have ever had a direct link to Toronto.
So, given all this, I knew I had to come back to Whitehorse and see what an Air North inaugural flight was like!

![Why Do Hawker Siddeley HS 748s Still Fly in Canada?
The Hawker Siddeley HS 748 is a British turboprop airliner developed in the 1950s.
From the outset, the HS 748 - sometimes called the “Hawker” - was envisioned as a Douglas DC-3 replacement, able to carry between 40 and 48 passengers.
Of course, as with many rare airplanes featured on this channel over the years, a few of them are still flying in Canada!
