Photo: Antonov takes Bubba home

A giant aircraft lands in Iqaluit April 27 to take “Bubba” home. The Volga Dnepr Antonov A-124-100, which brought the Sikorsky S-647 Skycrane, nicknamed Bubba, to Iqaluit April 13, arrived April 27 to transport the powerful helicopter to its next destination. The Skycrane had finished bringing four new generators to Pangnirtung, whose power plant burned down April 3. The four new generators are up, full power has returned to the community, and if all goes well, the local state of emergency, which has been in place since April 3, should be lifted April 30.
