Define a bush pilot?

Bush pilot.....living in a northern Ontario town, flying in difficult conditions, getting paid very little, hardwork, long hours, but nothing better than flying floats.

Bush flying in Northwest Ontario can't get better than flying in Kenora. In the summer the population triples, the women come out and are beautiful, the nights are fun, the beer flows, and the area is just georgous. Plus its semi-civilized. As in beer store, LCBO, Boston Pizza, Pizza Hut, Tim Hortins, KFC, McDonalds, Walmart, Canadian Tire.....basically almost everything you could want. Plus Haps, and the Monkey which are two awsome pubs. Kenora for bush flying would be the New York to buisness. Im biased though, I've been going to Kenora for 18 years.

Nothing quite beats sleeping in a tent at -40 near LG 2 P.Q. in a sopping wet 5 Star from having the wing covers piled on it. You hang that baby outside to dry at those temps and mildew is gone.

1. You are half witted, half pissed, flying half a plane, with half tanks but yet are double gross.
2. You manage to find time between flying, drinking, and puking to occasionally repair your aircraft.
3. You smell like the odd time you actually take a shower its using gas and dirty oil, but that dosnt mean shit, 'cause chicks dig pilots!
4. You remind yourself that sure you could make more money flying south for the airlines, but those pilots get busted for drinking on the job.
5. You need locks on your fuel tanks, lest you sponsor the local "Gas Huff Party"
6. The term "Go Around" isn't in your vocabulary but "F*ck it, she'll make it!" is.
7. Your walk around isn't a walk around so much as it is a stagger around, then crall around, then throw up.
8. Safety is your number 1 concern, less fuel = less fire.
9. You carry a high power hand gun to fight off bears, or more likely locals who compramised your fuel locks.
10. Your diet consists mainly of: moose meat, and somesort of fermented beverage.
