Iqaluit residents admire an old Twin Otter on display at the Iqaluit International Air Show held Aug. 22. Manufactured in 1970, it’s one of four Twin Otters operated by Canadian Forces in Yellowknife. With a top speed of 337 km/h, it’s capable of carrying 20 passengers and 2,000 kg of cargo. More than 1,000 people attended last weekend’s air show in Iqaluit. (PHOTO BY JIM BELL)
