Today we remember the men and women that made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. Lest we forget.

Bush flying has a strong connection to many WW1 & WW2 veterans. Many of the pilots that returned from WW1 used their savings to purchase their own planes, using them to move people and supplies through Canada's north, survey the land, and watch for forest fires.

When war in Europe started again in 1939, many of these pilots returned to service to build the Royal Canadian Air force. Without these pilots, Canada's expansion would have been slowed and the north disconnected. We will remember them and their contributions here in Canada and around the world.

Another photo from this summer! It's hard to believe that soon these lands will be covered with snow and ice. One of the greatest parts of flying is seeing the season's change from above.

✈️ Pack smart for your next trip! Your ticket includes 50lbs of baggage - perfect for the essentials. Additional weight is just $3/lb extra, keeping travel simple and straightforward.

*Please keep in mind that, while you can bring more than 50lbs, each flight has a maximum weight depending on number of passengers. So only bring the essentials and leave the kitchen sink at home 😉
