Day Two of the Northern Lights Dream Tour, which saw players leaving Yellowknife on a 1942 DC 3 (used in WWII over Normandy) for hunting and fishing in Deline, N.W.T. on Monday, November 19, 2012. After playing the first of three charity games at the Yellowknife Multiplex on Sunday, they jumped aboard a hunter green Buffalo Air Douglas DC-3 built in 1942. The rustic plane actually flew over Normandy during the Second World War and is regularly featured in the Ice Pilots TV series, which airs on the History Channel.
