Brent Bidston – President and lead pilot
We immigrated from the UK to Canada in 2005 and have been living in Fernie ever since. I was an Airline Captain for my 30 year career. When we immigrated I was working for Korean Air as a Captain on their A330 fleet but took early retirement in 2009 to live full time in the Elk Valley.
My Wife and I joined BC Ambulance and served 10 years at the Fernie station. During that time I started the Elk Valley Air Search and Rescue Association, a unit of CASARA, and have been operating in the Rocky Mountains since 2012.
I now look forward to getting Angel Flight East Kootenay up and running while also running and Air Search and Rescue.

Rob McInnis – Director and pilot
Rob is a retired airline pilot who continues to enjoy aviation in retirement whether teaching his wife Deb to fly in their own aircraft, flying corporate charters, flight instructing, soaring, or pretty much anything that gets him into the air.
Rob is especially enthusiastic about Angel Flights as it is a way to help those in need while doing something he loves.

Todd Weselake – Director, partner and pilot
Having lived in Fernie for the last 2 decades I understands the importance of the flights myself and Brent can offer to East Kootenay residents. As an avid, experienced mountain flyer and pursuing a career in aviation I take aviation safety extremely serious and looks forward to being a part of the growth and success of Angel Flight East Kootenay.
