In October 2024, I visited Lakecountry Airways (www.lakecountryairways.ca) at their Ramara location to interview Randy Straeten & Jonathan Sadowski about flying in Ontario’s north-country bushland. They were both incredibly generous with their time and knowledge of flying in the north and, Jonathan in particular, shared wonderful insights into flying the DeHavilland Beaver, which figures prominently in the Matt Brennan series.
