DAY 3, FRIDAY JULY 18th : FT. MC MURRAY - HAY RIVER
Good weather, flight over the tar sands, the terrain is changing from the flat prairie to rolling hills. Everyone arrived in Hay River safely, a good VFR day. Hay River airport manager closed up a runway for our planes, volunteers from the town received the pilots with great enthusiasm.
Every crew had been assigned a local volunteer to show them varied sights of the town including the impressive water falls, the golf course, the museum. Some were lucky enough to cross the path of a mama bear with her two babies. In the evening our hosts treated us to a freshly caught white fish BBQ by the river and a refreshing harbour cruise and jet boat rides for the more adventurous. For three of the crew members, the jet boat rides were followed by a courtesy police car ride directly to the hotel.
