Bush Flying In Kenora

KenoraPilot · Post by **KenoraPilot** » Sat Nov 05, 2005 1:17 pm

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.

Hate to burst your balloon, Fort Frances has Kenora beat hands down. No dodging drunks on the way to the beer store either.

To bad that Fort Frances smells like a Sh*t Hole! Sucks about the fog of rolling stink in the winter. .

Well the Kenora mill just closed and if you asked a "permanent resident" of Kenora they'll tell you they'd embrace the smell of money about now.

A rainy winter day in Victoria beats the nicest summer day in Kenora hands down, although the view from the deck at Haps beat the view from the lodge about 5 hours north where I spent the past summer.

Hey driving Rain, do not forget about the Bass Championship/tournament. Some good looking girls come out for that one.

I just a little partial to the Fort since I married one.

Which Tournament the one held in Kenora called the KBI or the one in Fort? Both good events IMHO. Having lived and loved in both towns I can tell you that Fort Frances is a way more relaxed community.
The border is right there and those Minnesota blonds

, Rainy Lake, Twin Beech's, The Rendezvous, a public beech everyone can get to not just the privalaged few with a boat.

My mom lived in Oak Bay Victoria. A city of newly wed and nearly dead. Very purdy though.

Did they put the 185 in the water this year? How about CBA? Don't forget to remind the Walsten boys that JEI will haul a much better load than MAQ. Is Jack still around or Rob for that matter? Who is running the show now, Kuby?

KenoraPilot · Post by **KenoraPilot** » Wed Nov 16, 2005 8:37 am

This year 2 185s WDB and YXY were in, JEI kicked some ass, yes MAQ. Rob was around for a while then went to Manitoba Gov't Air. Kuby and MJ are running KAS

LOL, Rob had that job in the nineties and left it to come back to KAS if I am not mistaken.

You are right, Haps and the likes make it like vacation spot for bush pilots. So did KAS get some more camps or did they still some work back from WAS? Was getting to the point where Fletcher Lake Lodge was their staple.

KenoraPilot · Post by **KenoraPilot** » Wed Nov 16, 2005 10:15 pm

KAS has all its own camps, we also fly charter for other lodges. U used to fly in Kenora? For whom?

Traf · Post by **Traf** » Fri Nov 18, 2005 5:00 pm

Own camps? Since when? What lakes are they on? Man I been outta the loop for a long time.

KenoraPilot · Post by **KenoraPilot** » Fri Nov 18, 2005 8:27 pm

Yeah haps has a kick ass view of the parking lot in front of the lake, sucks when the best patio/view on the lake belongs to the freaking pizza hut.

I do however like the monkey for their patty Melt as I am sure KenoraPilot can attest to.

Traf · Post by **Traf** » Sat Nov 19, 2005 6:59 am

Scuba, the best view at Haps used to the hotties that worked there.

Lount Lake and the likes? Can I assume that KAS bought out Crash Krawlick?(not sure of the spelling)
