As he walked up the tarmac and onto a plane at Yellowknife Airport, Winnipeg filmmaker Christopher Paetkau had an eerie feeling that something was wrong. As he passed a First Air flight attendant, he asked, “Is this flight going to Inuvik?”“Yes, eventually,” the attendant said. So the plane headed for a destination 2,300 kilometres in the wrong direction and Paetkau unwittingly embarked on a tour of the Canadian Arctic. She took Paetkau to talk to the attendant who confirmed his flight and she was shocked. “So initially I was the joke, but then I became in on the joke.”He also became good friends with the flight crew, particularly with the flight attendant who had misunderstood his question.
