There a great justplanes video on Air Greenland. It's dated (10-15 yrs old) but shows a lot of the weather and terrain that these pilots face daily there. Search on youtube for for justplanes air Greenland for a trailer.
Great outcome from a dangerous situation. I recently crossed Greenland (twice) further north landing a BGSF and then on to CYFB. It is difficult to describe the remoteness that we experienced, but also the friendly and cooperative nature of all those people we met. A particular shout out for the staff at the BGSF met office who provided excellent support that helped guide us to a safe conclusion the day after their first snowfall of the season. Thank you Air Greenland for your swift support of these people in a dangerous situation. I would love to know what happened to the Cessna after landing.
That second engine on the Cessna sure comes in handy, doesn't it?
No truer word have been spoken on this one.
I absolutely love these types of stories!!! Well done.
