Darcy Hoover lives in Nova Scotia, Canada. He has been flying helicopters in the remote corners of the world for the past 32 years. Originally a Canadian bush pilot, he’s flown in over 30 countries, been through riots on three continents, was robbed at the end of two AK47s walking home from a bar in Benin, detained in Kenya on trumped up charges completely unfounded, charged by elephants, black bears, and moose, been covered in seal excrement, has flown Princes and Presidents, and has found himself in far more precarious situations than he should have, with some regularity. Darcy is presently flying in Trinidad & Tobago. Darcy had a popular running blog of his adventures, but one post was misconstrued by some official in Kazakhstan, leading to its cessation.
