View From The Sky With Pilot Don Arney
Suzanne Little | Jan 11, 2010
Local Salt Spring Island inventor and businessman Don Arney takes to the sky on a regular basis as he drives himself to work in Delta, BC in his helicopter. I had the great luck last week to have a ride into the city with him for a business meeting. On the way back we picked up my friend Christopher Roy who also commutes to the city for work. We were home in 15 minutes! What a spectacular experience. Thanks Don! You can watch the video below. To read about Don’s companies and his innovations that began with the world-renowned forest fire fighting solution the Bambi Bucket, see his websites: www.sei-ind.com

Wow! Thank-you for sharing the info and the video. Very interesting inventions and very important to our world with all the climate changes.
Very cool video. Looks like you had a nice day for the trip over to the mainland.
That looks like a lot of fun, think he would let me try!
Yes! Very cool and clear video!
See any grow ops!?
Could be a Saltspring google earth style zoom in on locals.
That house was on the hometour a few years back.
He invented the Bambi Bucket.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful trip.I forwarded the video to my relatives in Holland, they will not believe this wonderful overview of the Islands and a Homecoming per helicopter in one’s driveway in the hills!
That was awesome! When I was a little kid, I always told my parents that I was never going to learn to drive, only fly and that I would fly a helicopter to work. My Dad used to take me to the local airport so I could watch planes take off, and sometimes we would talk to the pilots.
I finally did learn to drive, but not till age 28, and (unfortunately) never learned to fly. But I worked for the Govt. for about 10 years and got to fly to different cities every 3 weeks or so and could have lived in the air.
Someday, I really hope to get a ride in a Helicopter. :-)
