RLBA mission 003, flight no. 5
Special charter, Red Lake to Sandy Beach lodges
Flying from Chimo base, via Red Lake - CYRL to Sandy Beach Lodge on Trout lake.
This charter, made up of 3 delivery flights, was flown on 24-6-03 with the Schefferville Twin Otter, C-FGOL.
Plane and pilot chartered by the Steinfeld family ad 4.000 $ plus DOC and fuel. Two of the return flights to CYRL were operated for Chimo ad standard rate.
The Steinfelds were celebrating their son's Bar-Mitsva at the lodge and requested to be flown to that location; family and guests totaling 36 persons in addition to the catering company (leChef and 2 waiters plus supplies, party tent and such) and the Band (4 musicians/entertainers with their instruments and wardrobe).
