There are hundreds of stories about these and other great bush planes and the men that flew them . I think my favorite is about
these two bush pilots from the far North that fly South over the border for some R & R. After a rough landing at a small local
air strip, the pilot was over heard saying to his companion " Wow, that has to be the shortest runway I have ever seen".
His buddy replied " Yes, but just look how W--I--D--E it is ".
"
Well, I'm not sure about that, but that's what I heard.
