Before the term was applied to Canada's downhill skiers, a fearless group of pilots defied constant danger and death to open up Canada's North. Their exploits are legendary - they were the "Original Crazy Canucks." Four of Canada's bush pilots recall their experiences - the thrills; the humour and the ever-present dangers that were constant companions on their flights into Canada's frontier mining towns.
