Flew skydivers in a Cessna 180 time building - lot of landings.
Co-pilot ( warm it up in the morning at -40, load it, fuel it, learn how to navigate in really bad weather ) on a single Otter on Wheel skis and floats
( a "ti'pit" in Quebec - rough translation "little pilot.") The Otter Capt. taught you a lot. I was lucky and had 3 really great ones. I got to do 1/2 the flying form the start. Some Ti'pits just worked like dogs and never touched the controls.
Fire patrol on C-185 wheels / floats bush flying in the winter.
Then onto Beavers ect ect - the standard Canadian flying story in those daze.
I do miss that Beaver and the 185 - most fun I ever had.
Funny thing - that Beaver and Otter- not a flight manual to be found. The boss nearly killed me later on when I bought them. He thought "Real men don't need Flight Manuals" I guess.
