Bush pilots fly charter in places like South Africa (Game reserves), Australia, US(piston charter), Canada (floats) generally on light piston twins, sometimes bigger turbo prop aircraft like King Air, Caravan etc.

Try a company called Hevilift in Australia, they are looking for pilots to go remote out in Papua New Guinea, I flew there for a while, was great fun... ps they still have cannibals.

I instructed, did bush flying (light piston twin) charter, game reserves in SA and Botswana, flew the mail, bank runs at night on metro's in Australia to work my way up. I thoroughly loved it. Pay was crap, but they usually pay for accomodation and food and I travelled the world.

Definetly improve your english if it is a problem. All the best to you though
