OUR BUSH PILOTS

After obtaining his commercial pilot's licence in Switzerland and flying in the deserts of Libya, bush pilot Urs has been flying in Canada's north for over 30 years. His knowledge and experience guarantees a safe environment. Urs loved flying his DHC-2 Beaver which he had from 1983 through 2011. Urs cannot get enough of flying the DHC3-Turbine Single Otter while enjoying the luxury of operating from any of the lakes the Beaver used to go to but with 2x time loading capacity.
