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

trappers'
cabin - note the sand on the roof to hold down the water barrier of
plastic, blue tarp or tar paper. Due to extreme costs of flying in
building supplies, local materials are used exclusively. If the wind or
water remove the sand, a few well placed shovel fulls of sand and the
roof is good as new - no cost! |
