Flying to Extremes: Memories of a Northern Bush Pilot with Dominique Prinet

Before landing in Canada, Dominique Prinet toured the United States as an official VIP guest at the age of 17. The warm welcome he received, paired with experiences as a child in post-war France where he was clothed by donations sent from the U.S., cemented a deep gratitude to the American people. While working as a bush pilot in Yellowknife, NWT, Dominique earned enough money to pay for his electrical engineering degree at the University of British Columbia (UBC) and an MBA from McGill University.

He went on to enjoy a long career in aviation, including with Montreal’s Nordair, Canadian Airlines, and Air Tanzania. In retirement, Dominique started his own sailing school in Vancouver and obtained his helicopter license at age 70. He is currently working on more stories highlighting his various experiences in Central and South America, Africa, Asia, and across the Atlantic in a sailboat. https://www.marinenavigationbooks.com/book-flying-to-extremes.php
