Description

From chasing polar bears in the high Arctic to rotating oil workers in the Persian Gulf, this pilot has encountered experiences of a lifetime. Ride along with him as he fights fires in the Canadian Rockies, experiences the 'boat people' fleeing from Viet Nam in the South China Sea or escapes a Polar Bear attack. There was a time early in his career when he evacuated a 'cat skinner' in the middle of the night who had been impaled by a tree. Share the awe-inspiring views as he gazed out at 9,000-foot peaks after dropping off some Alpine skiers. With a sense of humour, he repeats an old expression in relation to aviation; "Hours & hours of boredom, punctuated by sheer moments of terror!" However, share the experiences with him, which were exhilarating & far from boring! Come along the journey with amazing photos through the eyes of the pilot; more than 300 photos.
