Mi-26 in Canada: Pics and Stories

I was catching a plane in Ft. Nelson in the Fall of 2006. This machine was sitting at the airport. It's the same aircraft that was brought into the country to assist moving heavy equipment into the diamond mines north of Yellowknife. Check Diavik's & BHP's website for more pictures. The aircraft also worked in the Whitecourt area lifting Gas Drilling Rig equipment into sites during the "off season".
