A Bush pilot......... a real pilot

Your a bush pilot when moccasins are begining to look like high heels

Get out of your beat to crap pick-up, stuff a 1/2 can of copenhagen in your yap and run your cat pushin shit around for a couple of hrs, do a little welding, pump the floats and go pick up whoever you left in the bush last month - go to the bar and get pissy eyed, start over tomorrow.

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.

Jonwa, you call yourself a bush pilot? You APOLOGIZED! Real bush pilots don't do that.

apologize for what?

Simple.

BIG WATCH
BIG COCK,
NOOOOO MONEY!!!

Nah; Big watch, small cock, mooches beers off the wrenchers

A guy once told me that you're not a "Bush Pilot" until you have to sleep with your oil... I guess there are modern Bush Pilots too

I thought you liked it in Kenora

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.

Never slept with my oil but took the battery to bead a couple of times.
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.

oh......ouch !!! ya got me there.... oh it burns... my ass is burning from your witty retort..

now how did ya get THAT handle?? hanging around the helo pilot's shower??

I was only talking about being a Bushpilot in general. I was not talking about Kenora, just the general "impression" of a bushpilot that people have.

There is one thing better than flying floats.....flying boats!

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.

Define a bush pilot?

Size 4 Hat, Size 12 Boots and a strong back!!

A pic i did a couple of years ago.

Its the three "f" 's that make you a bush pilot:

1)Fly
2)Fish
3)F&@K

Oh and Im pretty sure you can spell drinking with an "f" somehow or other
