The "Spirit of Yellowknife" was Canadian North's iconic Boeing 737-200 Combi, famous for its gravel-kit ability to land on rough northern runways, serving the Arctic for decades before its retirement in May 2023, marking the end of an era for robust, hands-on jet aviation in the North, piloted on its final flight by Captain Dawn MacFarlane, daughter of the original pilot, Captain Cecil Hansen.

    This plane would be the last scheduled 737-200 Combi left in Canada. First Air phased all of theirs out during the merger in 2019, leaving Canadian North as the sole operator. Nowadays, you can find these extraordinary aircraft still serving the North for charter by Nolinor and Air Inuit.

    The hardest part was honestly trying to get the livery correct. That was a pain, but it's finally done. After considering it for months, I finally did it.
