Spoiler!

Calgarys own Borek Air are using their Otters in the mission. It's also not the first time they tried a rescue during a polar winter. They rescued a doctor in the early 2000's as well.

No small task, high winds,blowing snow and -65c weather would make most fighter pilots crap their pants.
