Bert Rose and Patrick Nagle are the current partners in the Polar Pilots Cessna 172, along with former flying partner Cam McGregor, who maintains an interest in our hangar and general aviation. We're private pilots who fly for fun around the southern end of Baffin Island, Nunavut, Canada.

Cam originally coined the name Polar Pilots back in 1993, when C-GOLJ was first moved up to Iqaluit from its home in Alberta. 

Bert set up the original Polar Pilots website a few years later. And thanks to the Wayback Machine,you can also view an archive of the 2nd Polar Pilots website, from September 1, 2007, just for old times' sake!

Since 1993, about a dozen private pilots have been part of the group.  Some have gone on to fly commercially, others continue to enjoy flying as a hobby. 

Over the years, we've also met dozens of pilots passing through Iqaluit, Nunavut, Canada from all over the world.  

We'd love to hear about your arctic flying adventure, past or future.  And we'd be happy to provide what information we can to help make your trip to Canada's Eastern Arctic successful.
