 Introduction  Plane to Churchill

 

The plane was a charter, so we didn't go out of the main Winnipeg terminal. We were bussed for about a half hour in a circle, waited at a gate that was locked, and finally got onto the plane. When the flight crew referred to each other as Captain Ralph and Cabin Attendant Jane, we knew were not on a major airline. Calm Air is a regional carrier. This is a turbo jet, and for somebody who gets motion sick, this is the author's worst nightmare (although a prop plane is even worse). But it turned out to be one of the smoothest flights we've ever been on.
