Piloting the C-130 HERC around the Hudson Bay

First Air gave JustPlanes and its viewers a very rare and unique opportunity to fly the L-382 aka C-130 Hercules just before the aircraft was retired from its fleet and sold to an airline in Asia.
The 4 hour cockpit film also featuring the rest of its fleet of 737s and ATRs includes 4 flights on the C-130 between Rankin Inlet and the Meadow Bank Gold Mine!

I liked very much how mild is this little one in the hands of Captain Jarvis: 80 KIAS and rudder gets aerodynamic in the meantime, the steering is doing the work very well and without any tricks on the frozen runway. Looks like a little kart. Beautiful aircraft.

My father was a flight engineer on the Northwest Territorial Airways/ NWT Air/ First Air Hercules for 22 years.

This plane is 44 years old now, unfortunately it doesn't fly for First Air anymore, First Air sold all their C-130's in 2015.

I like how JustPlanes asks the pilots to talk about their career progression to date. Very humbling.

Greetings from Pordenone (Italy), 10 km from Aviano USAF Base of F-16!

*All my childhood long I've been seeing and hearing F-4 Phantom taking off and landing, all the noises of a couple of J-79 are in my knowledge (pardon my English), because my father used to took me to Aviano "to see the airplanes". Once you were free to stay close to both sides of the runway, and I tell You, Gentlemen: to see a Phantom while the pilot is busy with stick, pedals and throttle, is something spectacular, astonishing. It was all about stick-throttle. You could see the beast (or more oh them) coming from Treviso with landing lights on. THAT, was a JOB. No fly-by wire. Just arms, hands, and a lot of brain to steer that machine, that way. If the weather was windy, then it was more fun. Everything's moving: flaps were extended, tail elevators were continuously moving, as well as the ailerons, and the rudder too, moved widely. It was a struggle, it was muscular, when those machines must be put from air to ground. The noise of the two J'79 was something beautiful. I will never forget the howling of the engines, when the pilots were "on brake", and a thunder, a loud, long thunder while they were pushing throttle, in a take off with full afterburners on, for example. Phantoms... they had something magic, those flying machines. Now is all about F-16. Beautiful machine, nothing to say, but they are far different from the powerful F-4 Phantom. Phantom is my favorite flying machines, together with OV-10 Bronco, C-130 Hercules. Completely different machines, for completely different jobs, but they are the ones I like the most! Trough Aviano passed and passes everything is flying, I've been seeing all kinds of aircraft, but Phantoms, Hercules and the factotum, Broncos had something more I can't explain.*
