Johnny May Sr., flying since 1962, is the first Inuk pilot from the eastern Arctic

May is also well known for the annual Christmas candy drop in Kuujjuaq.

Every year at Christmas, from 1965 until 2019, he would fly his plane above the community and drop candies, toys and clothes for the children and other residents.
