Bushpilot Unclaimed

All the most pristine and unspoiled places are without doubt off the beaten track, often only accessible by air. If it's a genuine rustic and wild experience you're after, the adventures are only waiting. But you will not find these in any guidebook or airport listing. For a pilot, as for anyone else, these adventures come at a price; usually in the form of accessibility problems and the lack of those creature comforts weve gotten so used to (air traffic control, windsocks, tarmac, avgas, aircraft mechanics etc.), not to mention unpredictable weather and far distances from help. Bush flying has entered the world of aviation and popular culture as a rugged, romantic lifestyle that combines elements of great beauty and independence with a certain degree of risk and danger.
