Legendary Inuk bush pilot Johnny May Sr. crossed a flying milestone few pilots achieve in their careers, having recently surpassed 40,000 hours of flight time.
And the 76-year-old from Kuujjuaq, Nunavik, said he plans right on going.
"Just keep on flying as long as I'm able to because I enjoy it a lot," he said.
May has been flying for 59 years and is best known as being the first Inuk pilot in eastern Canada. He posted his recent flying accomplishment on Facebook and received many congratulatory messages.
"It was nice," he said.
May obtained his pilot license in 1962 and through his company, Johnny May's Air Charters, has flown countless clients.
These days, he said, he's been flying caribou hunters.
