Deep within the Iskut River Valley of British Columbia was one of the largest gold mines in North America - the Snip Gold Mine. The lack of roads and constant requirement for resupply warranted the use of air support to keep the mine running.

This collection of amateur film captured over a two year period raises the curtain on the notorious and stunning Bronson Creek airstrip in British Columbia. Built to service the prosperous Snip Gold Mine, this remote outpost became home to an eclectic group of fantastic old propliners with one mission: to keep production flowing out and supplies flowing in.

But only those aircraft and pilots willing to handle the trials of asperous runways, choking terrain, and unforgiving weather could handle such a task. The only worthy aircraft were propliners of a bygone era: the robust Douglas Skymaster, the portly Bristol Freighter, the hardy DC-3, and the eccentric Aviation Traders Carvair.

The following aircraft are featured: 

Brooks Fuel C-54 N44909 : Brooks Fuel C-54 N44911
Hawkair B.170 C-FTPA : Hawkair B.170 C-GYQS
Hawkair ATL-98 C-GAAH : Sky Freighters C-117 C-GDIK

Come along for the ride to witness them conquer and claim the skies on one of their last crusades against time. Welcome to Bronson Creek!
