NORTHERN SASKATCHEWAN BUSH PILOTS Ivan Robertson COLLECTION |
||
  |
Ivan Robertson of La Ronge was one of the last Bush Pilot/Aircraft
Engineers that flew in the 1980's in Northern Saskatchewan. The
following is a small part of Ivan's photo and slide collection
documenting bush flying in those days. Ivan and his brother Scott are avid canoers and have paddled most of the rivers and lakes which Ivan has flown over. We would like to thank Ivan for sharing his collection with us.- Web builder. |
