When they fly bush planes
they always use
their brains.
Sometimes it’s a
tight squeeze
when they land on
wheels or skis.
Or they land on water
when they fly the
single otter.
When they have
souls on board
they pray to our
Good Lord.
Sometimes they don’t
have a mechanic
but bush pilots
never panic.
When the engine
comes to a stop
they start it by the prop.
I don’t think they
use maps
but they have to
use their flaps.
When they fly out
on bush trips
bush pilots land on
rough airstrips.
They depend on
their good luck
so that they don’t
get stuck.
Bush flying is in
their blood
but they don’t like
getting stuck in mud.
They fly IFR (I
Follow River)
with no heater they shiver.
Bush pilots are
tough guys
‘cause they make their
living in the skies
