Thanks to our great friends Backroad Maps for coming onboard as a sponsor of the channel. The next time we have a forced landing on a frozen lake in the middle of nowhere (hopefully never) we will at least have amazing, accurate, high resolution, LOCAL and appropriate map data at our fingertips which can be a real asset in a situation like that. Hooray!

We now live in a world where nearly anyone can produce their own online content, and this is amazing. However, it’s important that such content be created with a purpose. Otherwise it just becomes more self-obsessed, ego-stroking pablum that no one wants to eat.

There is a fresh, new episode of TomAir available for your viewing pleasure. This one is a little different as it is an interview with a VERY interesting Canadian film maker, Mr. Stephen Low of IMAX fame. This interview takes place in C-GRBR out over Lake Superior at 5,500' and it makes for a fun backdrop to our conversation. Stephen and I got to chat about his exciting, forty plus year career where he produced and directed over twenty large format films about amazing and diverse subject matter all over the globe. He dove on the Titanic eighteen times while filming Titanica, he has chased trains with helicopters all across Canada filming Rocky Mountain Express, he shot inside beaver lodges for his epic film Beavers, and has filmed some of the world's most amazing military hardware from the ground and the air while creating Legends of Flight among his many other epic filming adventures. Check it if you can.

I recently had the amazing opportunity to have Stephen Low of IMAX fame as a guest in my Skymaster during a trip out to ThunderBay Ontario and back. I got ...
