The early days of Helair Ltd.

Helair

Pete Peterson’s Helair Ltd. was originally located out of his home on Keewatin Beach Road, just west of Kenora. Pete gave me my first flight from there in a G2 equipped with dual flight controls during the winter of 1967.

You want to be what?

When I grow up I want to be a PILOT because it’s a fun job and easy to do. That’s why there are so many PILOTS flying around these days. PILOTS don’t need much school, they just have to learn to read numbers so they can read instruments. I guess they should be able to read road maps too, so they can find their way if they get lost.
