#6: Take Off!
See what its like when the aerial survey team takes off from McGill airport in a cessna skymaster 337 and heads for the Atlantic in search of right whales. Zach is seated in the right seat behind Ken and Holly. When we find whales Holly will open the window and Zach will photograph while circling above the whales at 1000 feet!
Video taken by Jess from the left seat of the plane.
