"We love you Adam Beach!" they screamed. "I love you too!" relied Beach.

Beach charmed his way through the crowd, taking time out in front of the theatre, on an icy cold night to greet the fans in person. Not everyone got in to the sold out show so Beach's efforts were greatly appreciated.

Stephen Lobo plays the hilarious Dev Panwar, a flight school graduate from India. Lobo's enthusiasm is contagious and his performance right on the money.

PictureArctic Air's Pascale Hutton
It's not just her smile that's captivating, Pascale Hutton steals most of the scenes she's in with her flawless transformation to seasoned pilot. She's a natural at being natural and lends a believability to her character that makes you forget you're watching a show.

PictureArctic Air's Emilie Ullerup and friend
Season one brings Emilie Ullerup (Sanctuary) to the show. She's only scheduled for three episodes but let's keep our fingers crossed we see a lot more of her in the future. She's a great addition to the cast.

Leah Gibson is captivating and hilarious as Candi Lussier. Gibson plays Beach's character's high school love interest (she's his partner in real life as well) and the chemistry practically bursts from the screen.

PictureArctic Air's Aleks Paunovic
Local celebrity Aleks Paunovic plays the endearing Jim McAllister, Adam Beach's character's best friend. Paunovic captures the essence of his character to a T and has us cheering for him from the moment we're introduced.

PictureArctic Air's Jaren Bartlett and John Reardon
Arctic Air has managed to snag some of Canada's most talented actors to form a cast to be reckoned with. They are a well balanced group of talented individuals putting their hearts and souls into a brilliant new show.
 
The writing is superb and the Yellowknife scenery is magical (it's the real thing. filmed on location). You won't want to miss a minute of this great new series.
