The truth is that these are working aircraft, flown by pro- fessional pilots whose experience ranges from a thousand flying hours to over ten thousand. Much of their time is spent patrolling + the nether regions of the area, for even the lookout towers scattered around cannot watch all the tim- ber contained in our forests. As Chief Pilot and Castlegar Station Manager for Kootenay Airways, it is Nielsen's ibility not only to to fly many of these scouting trips, but also too ensure that all flying is done properly; that is, safely, competently and legally. With a fire season like this year's, there is lots of work to be done. An Alberta import, Nielsen the University of Alberta, he the Air Force as a Regular Officer Training Plan cadet. Upon graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology, Dale was commissioned and sent for pilot training. Over the next 12 years or so he flew all over North America and Europe as a Canadian Forces pilot, first in the venerable CF-100 all-weather interceptor and then later in CF-5 fighters. Most Canadian officers are required to take French lan- guage training; Nielsen decided to take the training one step fur- ther and followed up the seven truly bilingual. By 1981 Nielsen had lived in eight of Canada’s provinces (he visited Newfoundland and Nova Scotia but never stayed there) and was flying fighters at Cold Lake in Alberta. At this time he decid- eq to leave the Forces and try civil aviation. He invested in a in what then Adastra Dale Nielsen Aviation in the hither-to-unheard- of city of Castlegar. Soon after arriving in Castle- gar, Nielsen became involved in local volunteer organizations. He joined the United Way initially in 1982 and, apart from a break in 1992 and 1993, has served steadily since, including four years as President. At about the same time Nielsen joined the United Way, his son Jeff was playing Minor Soccer and Nielsen soon wound up on the League Executive as treasurer for the next six years. From 1987 to 1991, he was a director of the Chamber of Com- merce, serving a term as presi- dent. Currently, Nielsen serves the United Way on the Finance Committee.
