Define a bush pilot?
What makes a bush pilot a bush pilot? Is it flying with a big fat cigar in your teeth hell bent for leather ramming through thunderstorms with a high rate of speed and little consideration for passenger comfort? Is it flying without maps/gps/navaids hoping lake to lake on a 206 with the edo floats sunk up to the last line of rivets? Is it gravel flying strip to strip in the northern prairie provinces, dodging wildlife and native life, living fast and drinking even faster? Flying jo's all over saskatchewan for little pay or respect?
What do u think is the definition of a bush pilot?
Or are you a bush pilot, because you live in a godforsaken hole, and you dont instruct?

To be a true Bush Pilot you must be able to take two inches of co.k out of four inches of clothing with your wolf skin mitts on and have a piss at fifty below zero.

The hardest thing about flying is knowing when to say no
After over a half a century of flying no one ever died because of my decision not to fly.

Defining bush pilot
I was thinking of this the other day, if your weather report from where you're going sounds like this:
"OK, now Millie can the see the island"
You may be a bush pilot
"OK, now Millie can the see the island"
You may be a bush pilot
bush pilot
-wear your leatherman on your belt
-hat pulled down tight
-smell like an old fuel drum by the end of any day
-know what a snot box actually is
-outstanding personality
-an uncanny nack for dealing with inadequate operators without burning the bridge your standing on
-be able to repair almost anything with the leatherman on your belt
-know that the pickle lake inn is not a hot spot and the green buoys bobbing out on pickle lake are not buoys at all

1. Single and looking (at anything in a skirt)
2. Drinks like he's expecting the Apocalypse tomorrow
3. Drives a piece of shit, but owns a nice guitar.
4. Has a vocabulary that would make Chris Rock blush.
5. Swears every moose season that he's gonna go MIFR next year and by
March would give his left nut to do a splash-n-go in a Beaver.
