North Country Flying Service

We are privileged to share with you the incredible landscape and timeless beauty the great state of Maine has to offer. Growing up in the Greenville Maine area in the 80s and 90s I will never forget the sights and sounds of being in the old Folsom's hangar near the lake and at the airport. My favorite plane of all was the yellow DeHavilland Beaver that Folsom's operated. It was always a dream of m

ine to bring that sort of era back to Maine for people to relive or experience for the first time. It was without a doubt a staple in the heritage of Maine floatplane flying. At least everyone that I knew but then again, I've been around floatplanes in Maine for more than 40 years! This past winter we (my wife and I) decided to make this a reality. In March we travelled to Anchorage, Alaska to look at this 1957 yellow DeHavilland beaver that was sitting in the dark surrounded by snow on the side of Lake Hood gravel strip. We spent a few days looking it over and decided that somehow the people of Maine and those visiting need to experience a bush plane like this the same way I did when I was a kid. On May 14, 2024, I started up the vintage aircraft and began the journey from Anchorage to Maine. Six days later the brand new Aerocet floats touched a Maine lake for the first time. This aircraft has had many upgrades over the recent years including new wings, new wing support struts, new floats, new propeller, avionics upgrades and the gross weight increase to 5600 pounds from 5100 pounds. Which allows us to carry almost 2000 pounds of passengers, cargo and fuel! This aircraft will allow for six passengers and a pilot to safely operate within all weight and balance parameters with a large margin of safety. We will provide Western Maine with the best experience possible in this extremely capable and awesome airplane by offering 30-minute tours around the mountains, lakes and rivers. Come experience this great state with us while enjoying the sound and feel of an iconic and roomy bush plane. Everyone gets a full seat in this beauty, and you won't feel like you're in the baggage compartment.
