Inuvik - Mike Zubko Airport km 727

The view from Jak Park over looking the town of Inuvik and the river delta.
This Polar Bear was at the Vancouver 1986 World Expo in the Northwest Territories Pavilion and now graces the departure and arrival concourse at Inuvik - Mike Zubko Airport.  We had a very nice mustox burger at the restaurant there.

Air Canada does not fly into Inuvik but there are two northern airlines that have regular flights across the Yukon and Northwest Territories, Air North and Canadian North.
There is an Canadian Air Force base here with six hangers for jet fighter planes but it is in mothballs at the moment but ready if ever needed.  There is also a huge hanger for repairs on regular jets and well as these two pristine DC3's  one of them we watched take off and land again.
