Taking the chopper for a spin

Flying high for an aerial tour over Yellowknife's golden fall landscape. By Patrick Kane

Not gonna lie, we get some cool assignments at Up Here. Yesterday I phoned up up my friend Rob Carroll who owns Trinity Helicopters, one of our awesome advertisers based out of Yellowknife, and asked if we could do a quick photo tour of town before the snow hits. What I love about YK is anytime you need a favour, people are more than willing to help. Where else can you request a chopper ride and be in the air an hour later?

For those of you who’ve never seen Yellowknife from the air, here are some shots. It’s pretty beautiful, especially this time of year when the landscape is painted golden yellow and orange. Special thanks to Trinity – and especially Brent, our pilot – for a smooth ride in pretty windy conditions. Enjoy the pics!
