Conexión avioneta

Ivo Daniel Martinez is an anonymous hero. At the controls of his plane (sometimes a tiny Cessna, sometimes a twin-engine Piper), he defies the quite extraordinary flying conditions of Bolivia to come to the assistance of the most remote communities in the country.

Lying to the north of the Vanuatu archipelago in the South Pacific, the Banks Islands are literally cut off from the world. The 9,000 inhabitants of the Banks have only Doctor Mark Turbull and his orange cuckoo to rely on. He is the only one who can land on the unlikely and dangerous airstrips of these tiny volcanic islands to visit a patient or even operate on people on the bare ground.

We set out to meet Sebastien, a former airline pilot. We head for Canada and its vast expanses. Aboard his Jet Stream 32 and a seaplane, he introduces us to the magnificent, deserted and isolated landscapes of Northern Quebec. Fasten your seatbelts for imminent take-off!
