Coast Dogs Don’t Lie by Jack Schofield

Here you will find tall tales and true as told by the seaplane pilots who flew British Columbia’s rugged coast on what was called the North Coast Sched. It really didn’t go to the north coast but just as far from its base at Campbell River as it could travel and get home before night fall, and scheduled was a misnomer—it just got there when it got there. From the recollections of veteran coast dog Jack Schofield stories like the one of the logger who fired up his chain saw in flight with the intention of bucking off the plane’s tail and how about the dog who rode the pontoon on the way to the next stop or the pilot who was helped off a sandbar by four nude ladies—colourful anecdotes and colourful characters told from the pilot’s seat as you fly up the B.C. coast.
