Bush Flying Central
Tips
and Techniques from the Pro's
Want to kick around the backcountry? How about fly-in
flyfishing at it's finest? Get some training from a professional and have
some fun!
Disclaimer:
Nope, I'm not a pro! More like a rank amateur wanna be!!
I've had a taste, and know it's more fun than anything else I've ever done.
It's not without risk, but the rewards come with great satisfaction. The
true professionals are those who manage those risks, without taking any
that are unnecessary, and continue to bring their passengers and cargo
home time after time. My respect and admiration go out to all of them!

T-411
Wolverine:
This was the factory demonstrator for the "T-411 Wolverine",
a Russian manufactured U.S. kitplane, sold as the certificated AIST-2
in Russia. I just bought it in August of '98! With a wide cockpit and lots
of cargo space, 4 seats, a wingspan of 41 feet, full leading edge slats,
360 hp supercharged Russian radial engine, the performance envelope of
a Super Cub, and a useful load of over a ton it should be one mean bush
machine! The certification paperwork, maintenance, and checkout for a fairly
low time pilot should be adventures in their own right.... ( The wheel
pants have got to go!!! ;-) )

here's a good place to start?
Bush
Aircraft Links
Here's some certificated aircraft which are known good
bush performers. And a few kitplanes that would also serve the need.
