Shalom and greetings all my pals,
On May/June/July 2016, areas of Fort McMurray had worst forest fires in history that destroyed and burnt 1,500,000 acres and 3244 buildings.
This flight report presents my second relief aid cargo flight that I made 4 years ago (I have backlog of millions of screenshots waiting for me to publish) which was from CYZF Yellowknife Airport located in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada to CYMM Fort McMurray International Airport located 7 nautical miles southeast of Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada.
Cruising at 33,000 ft carrying heavy loads of much needed relief aid supplies bound for Fort McMurray residents

You can tell that the plane is getting near Fort McMurray when you see lots of smokes that are NOT clouds
