Leather gloves I sewed and did the beadwork on some 30+ years ago. While flying in Northwestern Ontario with a Luscombe in the winter time they were essential! One morning I went to fly home after a meeting, and they said I should wait to go until it warms to 40 degrees below zero!! Brrr! If you didn’t know 40 degrees below zero is the same temp in Celsius and Fahrenheit! Below is the is a phot of the plane (FZA) that I flew for most of the 440 hours I accumulated as a pilot.
For all my great Canadian friends! This is the Luscombe in which I logged most of my 440+ hours as a pilot! Nostalgia!
Alice is reading “Bush Flying Captured” (Photography of Rich Hulina), a gift that was given to my friend by his children. It was a pleasure to see in the book a photo of the plane I used to fly in NW Ontario. I am not sure if I was a bush pilot or a pilot who flew in the bush! 🙂
Reading through “Bush Flying Captured!”
