Video: Bush Flying 101
1 min read 
You hear a lot about “bush flying,” but what does it really mean? In this beautiful video, Trent Palmer shows that it’s more about flying with a spirit of adventure than anything else. He lands his airplane at a variety of remote dirt strips and meets up with other bush pilots for a fun-filled day in the air.
