CF-BAU

Air transportation in Nestor Falls was started back in the late forties by Red Swanton. He transported fishermen to Kay Lake and Kishkutena Lake with a Waco and a Fox Moth from the old base on Lake of the Woods known as Clearwater Air Service. In the early sixties Red sold his charter to Ralph Showalter when it then became Northwestern Flying Services.

The company changed hands a few more times up until 1987 when Jack Pope and Glen McLeod acquired the property changing the name to Northwest Flying Inc. 1992 brought sole proprietorship by the Pope family who still run the business to this day with Jack's son Shane and wife Gina.
