Business Spotlight

 

What can  you say about Air Nootka?  This business has provided local flights since 1981.  The new owner took over just a couple years ago.  I have had the pleasure of spending some time with him and he is definitely a guy with a sense of humour.  I have had many friends take the flight to the hot springs and have enjoyed the flight as well as the destination immensely. You will get a sense of Scott and his partner in crime, Angela’s sense of humour as you read this little bit about Air Nootka, ENJOY!
