Dominique Prinet
An unflappable man of many talents, Dominique Prinet worked as a commercial bush pilot in the Canadian Arctic and High Arctic, at a time when radio beacons were the exception and long before the GPS had been invented. He later served as the Marketing VP for Nordair in Montréal and Canadian Airlines in Vancouver. He taught economics to MBA students at McGill, and went on to manage Air Tanzania for five years. He developed a love for sailing and has navigated most of the oceans of the world using his faithful sextant. Today Dominique lives in Vancouver with his wife, also named Dominique, and celebrated his 70th birthday by obtaining his helicopter license.
