Jessica James: Lost Car Rescue TV Co-star and Pilot

Épisode 27

mercredi 3 mai 2023 • Durée 23:04

If you’re like me, anything aviation related on TV will attract my attention. When a show combines classic cars and vintage taildraggers…I’m doubly hooked! On this new episode of Flying BC I speak with Jessica James, co-star and pilot on History Channels’ Lost Car Rescue TV show. Jessica flies a bushwheel-clad Stinson on the show as they search for and recover classic cars around rural Canada. We also talk about how her career path changed just as she was stepping into a job with Harbour Air. It’s always fun to hear about unique jobs in aviation, and having a starring role in a TV show has got to be up there on the list of cool opportunities!

Be sure to catch Lost Car Rescue on History Canada, and streaming on StackTV which you can find on Amazon. You can also find Season 1 on Hulu and Apple TV.

Jessica's clothing line, Over Yonder can be found at www.overyonder.ca

BC AERO: General Aviation Disaster Airlift

Épisode 24

vendredi 22 avril 2022 • Durée 46:06

"Our 206 landed in the community and they were on rations because nobody knew about them. We found out about them so we put a bunch of stuff together and flew it out to them. They were literally crying."

When parts of British Columbia were cut off due to flooding in November 2021, General Aviation came to the rescue. Aviators and volunteers quickly banded together to provide highly adaptable relief, offering lifelines to isolated communities and filling gaps in the supply chain.

In the aftermath came a desire to formalize the effort, to ensure that emergency planning agencies took General Aviation services into account. Spearheaded by Shaun Heaps from Langley, and bolstered by a group of experienced volunteers, a formal entity has now been created in the form of BC AERO: British Columbia Airlift Emergency Response Operation. On this episode I speak with Shaun Heaps, Sigmund Sort, and Mike Davenport about the airlift, the formation of BC AERO, and what the future has in store. And most importantly, how you can get involved.

Dominique Prinet: Flying to Extremes in Canada’s North

Épisode 23

lundi 28 mars 2022 • Durée 51:48

"I heard a big crunch and then the scenery disappeared! I couldn't figure out why everything was gone all of a sudden, and it took me a while to realize I was looking at the bottom of the lake!"

Dominique Prinet was a bush pilot in the late 60’s, flying everything from Cessna 180’s to Single Otters and Beech 18’s into some very remote places in Canada's far North. Later in his career he became a Vice President at Nordair and Canadian Airlines. He’s written a great book called Flying to Extremes, full of well-written stories packed with vivid details and photos. There was no GPS or Sat phones in those days…if you got lost or in trouble it was all on you to come up with a solution, and he definitely had some close calls and miraculous adventures!

Competition Aerobatics: Christian Baxter and Mark Cunningham

Épisode 22

samedi 27 novembre 2021 • Durée 01:13:26

"You can't expect perfection, but you can strive for precision, and I think they are two different things."

If airshow flying is the flashy rockstar of aviation, competition aerobatics is the soloist in the orchestra. One is all about the show and the spectacle from the perspective of a crowd, where the other is a highly precise and practiced performance striving for perfection.

I sit down with Mark Cunningham and Christian Baxter at Boundary Bay airport to discuss all things aerobatics…and competition aerobatics in particular. As we’ll hear, competition is much different from airshow flying and if you’re someone who seeks a mission every time you go flying, or you just want to hone your stick and rudder skills, aerobatics could be the ticket for you.

"Your decision-making skills, everything, it benefits drastically by making the step into the float plane world."

Peter Grimm is the President and Chief Pilot at Van City Seaplanes in Vancouver, BC. If you've ever wondered what it takes to be a float plane pilot on the West Coast, this episode is for you. Peter dives into how to get the experience and training you need, the intricacies of coastal weather and flight planning, the differences between lake and salt-water operations, and why the Dehavilland Beaver is still the workhorse of choice.

Linden Hoover: Flying in Antarctica and Northern Canada

Épisode 20

mardi 6 avril 2021 • Durée 36:46

"So we flew all the drums out, and laid them on the blue ice, and then we went back with pictures. We were all so happy because, you know, 100 drums, we did a good job and it looked really nice. And just the way he looked at the pictures when we showed him...we were, like, 'uh oh'. He's says, I'm really sorry guys but this won't do..."

Linden Hoover is a First Officer with the legendary Canadian company, Kenn Borek Air. He has been flying the Twin Otter and Basler (Turboprop DC-3) in Northern Canada and Antarctica for the past few seasons. A graduate of University of Victoria’s Aviation Business program, he earned his CPL in 2017 and has some great insight into what it takes as a young commercial pilot to make connections and get your foot in the door at the jobs you want.

Christine Gervais: COPA's Strength in Numbers

Épisode 19

mercredi 24 mars 2021 • Durée 45:24

"People don't necessarily know that this doesn't have to be a career. This can be something that is an add-on to your life...a fantastic add-on to your life."

In North America, we enjoy a freedom of the skies that is the envy of the rest of the world. And a lot of that is due to strength in numbers, and advocacy efforts from organizations like COPA – the Canadian Owners and Pilots Association. There’s a lot of change and new faces coming into COPA head office in the past few months, and as a member and regional director, I’m excited to see the organization revitalized. So, I asked COPA’s new President and CEO, Christine Gervais, to come on the show to talk about what COPA has up it’s sleeve for the future, and what she sees as the organization’s strengths and opportunities.

Katie Cowley: Adventures of a new Commercial Pilot

Épisode 18

mardi 2 mars 2021 • Durée 57:26

"So I sat down in the roughest water I think I've ever landed in, and it's not that big of a plane so it was pretty big waves for those little floats. And I landed so far from the camp because I just wanted to be down on the water sooner than later."

On this episode of Flying BC, I chat with my friend Katie Cowley about her first couple years as a new commercial pilot. For the past year, she’s been flying on floats and wheels out of Sioux Lookout in Northern Ontario, living the bush pilot life. I caught up with her just as she was coming up to the 1000 hour milestone, and we talked about her adventures – and misadventures – on her path through flight training, some of the lessons she’s learned along the way, and what it’s really like being a newly-minted commercial pilot trying to gain experience and find jobs. It’s not always easy!
