Lots of bush flying in PNG and Indonesia (Irian Jaya). Mining, Missionary (religion), forestry, clinic, surveys and exploration, tourism, local passenger transits, etc are the mainstayers of bush pilots in the region. I have more respect for bush pilots generally than those who fly the big irons.:salute::ernae:

Plenty of bush flying in NZ mainly in the South Island with the main types been Maules, 180/185s, Super Cubs and Austers...not that mountainous in these pics but nice scenery.....

Well I think if you put both Northwestern and Northeastern Ontario bushflying and air services it would come a close second to the Pacific coast from Washington to B.C. Canada to all of Alaska. Do most of my flying out of CYCN northeastern Ontario. I'm a lifer here. Less the mountains it can be challenging aswell. It was interesting flying a beaver on wheel/skis. Different flying than that to floats, less fuel per hr. quicker of the ground different landing. Lot more work on shut down for the wrapping her up for the cold nights here at -25 to -30 in Jan. and Feb.

For now take care

Welcome! Beaverpilot.

Thanks for the welcome. Love bushflying both in the real and virtual world. Yea I'm a Ice Pilot fan aswell. Certainly some interesting bush flying up there. Here are a couple of pics that might catch your interest. I enjoy flying the dehavilland beaver I built a cockpit to enjoy my virtual flying. My bush flying setup.

Now that is a perfect/beautiful setup for a beaver pilot:salute: I live in the bush monument area Yellowknife were all the beaver's will flock to soon as the Water Aerodome opens. CAF wise were prepping #802 for her float operations from her ski's.
