Welcome to the continuation of my Yukon adventures.
I landed at 04:20PM in Whitehorse, that would leave me plenty of time to catch my connecting flight. We deboard at the same gate as I took off a few days ago. You then need to clear security to reach the gate to Vancouver.
I was still hoping to fly a 732 as Flightradar was not able to tell me the registration of my plane. Unfortunately it will be a 735 again, at least, not the same registration as my flight from Calgary to Whitehorse. C-GANH is the only 735 fitted with winglets in 4N's fleet. I was not able to take pictures of the plane at YXY as it was too dark but I found this on the net, courtesy of world airlines news.

On time boarding and here, two shoots of the boarding area:
92 occuped seats out of 122, and as I took a seat at the far end of the cabin, I had an empty row to my self. The cabin is similar to my last 4N 735 flight:
Recline is good.
Behind me I'll have three teenagers going on vacation to YVR that are that excited that they will make quite a lot of noise. That's life ^^
We will have a 20 minutes delay for an unknown reason. Again, due to the delay, the purser made an announcement that the first round of alcoolic drinks will be complementary. I'll finish to wish that all 4N flights are delayed ^^
Winglet:
As it was free, I could not help and indulged with a rhum:
Then it is sandwich time, together with crackers. The sandwich was perfect in every way.
And a warm chocolate cookie to end the meal.
Now Bonus time!!
This is East-Dawson. A lovely little city, worth to be discovered. The two inclined houses are the must see in Dawson, a bit like their Pisa Tower ^^
That's my friend's B&B, really the place to be in Dawson, organic food and the best coffee in Yukon.
To die for:
That's my cabin, just behind the coffee, very comfy, the stove has been built by my friend and was absolutely fantastic. I had a lovely stay. The only thing was that the toilets were in the coffee, so I had to bear with the -20° before being able to pee ^^

Conclusion
Again, Air North did not disapoint me. The catering was good considering it was a North American airline.
Seats were comfortable and the airplane well maintained given its age.

Thanks for another report showing that this little Canadian carrier has service standards clearly above the North American norm. Free food and booze in coach. It doesn't get better than that!

Nice and charming room. It feels like a private cave. I like places with personality and Dawson seems to have lots of it.
It seems that 4N is a pearl of a carrier. Great crew and catering, what else can you ask for as far as inflight service from a North American carrier?
