The passengers are lucky they did not land in Dec or Jan. It is very cold then. When I was in the AF. We deployed to Goose Bay too fly air refueling missions. I seen snow banks so high that you could not see the tail of an aircraft about to take off. They barracks had pot belly stoves for heat. The heat did not radiate very far from the stove. To close and you burned up, to far away and you froze. The mess hall serviced good hot chow four times a day. I got to do some shopping at the Hudson Bay store. It was no fun working on a aircraft because of the cold. You wore Arctic clothing. Had a Nelson heater blowing hot air over the work area. You took off one glove did a few minutes of work then had to stop and warm up the frozen hand. Then continue on with the repair. Just think of this three straight days; day and night working none stop to support the first B52 flight around the world. The 509Th Air Refueling Squadrons was one of the support groups for this mission. You sleep when you could and eat as you worked. Putting all this aside. I did enjoy the area when is was warmer. Have many memories of Goose Bay and the country side beauty I flew over. The endless white capped clouds to the bluest ski or the green forest and blue lakes. Fill the weakling memory of GOOSE BAY.
I’ve seen it in winter, it is reallyyyyyy cold.
