Is it a bird, is it a plane? Yes it’s a plane! Air show specialist Stefan Trischuk gave Deloraine residents a free air show on Wednesday, May 25. Trischuk �lew his Pitts Special Bi-Plane from his home base in Saskatoon to the Deloraine Municipal Airport where he had an appointment with Mark Pazdzior of Border Aircraft Maintenance Ltd. to have the plane readied for the upcoming Air Show season. Trischuk is the owner/operator of Stefan Trischuk Aerosports. He has been �lying for nine years, the last three performing in air shows. “As far as I know I am the youngest air show pilot in Canada,” said Trischuk. He was featured on a documentary on the Discovery Channel in 2015. As early as he can remember Trischuk wanted to �ly. He started with hang gliding and then when he was 17 up to 19 he �lew normal aircraft. Flying was and
is Trischuk’s passion. In order to pursue this venture he had to �irst put some money away. “I worked in the Potash mines to make money to do what I wanted to do. I didn’t mind that work and it was good to me, but I am so happy to be following my dream,” he said. Trischuk has performed air shows in several places including Vander�hoof, BC; Madras, Oregon, Lethbridge and Edmonton, Peace River, Westaskiwin, White Court, AB, Saskatoon, SK, Vancouver and Prince George, BC; and Brandon, MB. “The reason I do air shows is it’s a to show what I am passionate about. I want people to leave the air shows saying things like —‘I didn’t know an airplane could do that’ and ‘it really blew my mind.’” “I am available to do skywriting and did some last year. I would like to do a bit more — I have fun with it. Skywriting is classic but you don’t see it that much anymore.” Some of the skywriting he has done includes an in�inity sign, the outline
of the country of Kenya and a medicine wheel. “I would like to branch out with other extreme sport athletes —formation, drift race, free style. Also to add an art aspect — perform shows along with live bands at concerts.” Air shows have provided Trischuk with the opportunity to meet
many people across Canada. “Aviation is a small world.” Which brings the story back to why Trischuk brings his show plane to Border Aircraft. “I heard about Mark through friends. My friend Charles was so happy with the service at Border Aircraft and he passed that word on.
Mark is extremely good, easy to work with and he specializes in aircraft maintenance and importation — it’s convenient being in such close proximity to the U.S. border. Word of mouth is bringing more and more customers to Border Aircraft and Mark’s excellent service keeps them coming back.
