Anyone who flies does so with breath firmly held and fingers tightly crossed.
And yet, at the very end of the terminal on one of the coldest days of the year, a golden sun bathes the scene in stunning light in the dying minutes before nightfall.
Outside, a Fairchild Metroliner belonging to Bearskin Airlines waits quietly on the starkly frozen apron, its glowing fuselage putting on a reflective show that no one else seems to notice.
Soon enough this legendary plane will take to the darkening sky, a not-so-silent connector of lives and communities in a part of the world where this is often the only connection at all.
This industry gets a lot of deservedly awful headlines, but if you look more closely, there are still brighter stories being told, still magic to be found.
