What exactly is bush flying?

Postby ChrisOquist » Wed Oct 27, 2004 1:47 pm

From what I understand from context in discussion it involves flying in "hard to reach" areas like woodlands or mountain regions with scarce populations, few paved airtrips, possibly (hopefully not!) hazardous situations?

Is there any strict definition for Bush Flying? I'm interested, sounds cool!

Basically your summary is correct Chris. The major places for bush flying are Canada and Alaska, go find some small strips, fire up your Cub or Otter and have some fun ;)
