bushpilots
Posted by JCR on Mar 24 2004
There are no bush pilots anymore. They are disappearing at the rate
similar to that of WWII vets. To compare any modern day pilot to those who pioneered Alaskan aviation does a dis-service to those who
came and braved all to provide services, mail and convenience to rural Alaska for little financial gain. Todays " bush pilots" are here mainly to build time so they can get an airline job. Not all, but most. I was born and raised in Alaska and have worked in the guide business and Part 135 aviation since 1988. No offense intended towards anyone. There are some guys out there that rival true bush pilots in spirit, ambition and personality, but it is just not the same game anymore. As a  single pilot in a single engine aircraft,
don't plan on getting rich and don't quite your other job! You will
probably be able to pay your bills and get by though.
