Garth Wallace
Aviator/Author/Publisher/Speaker/Humorist
Aviator
Garth Wallace is from St. Catharines, Ontario,
(near Niagara Falls) where he learned to fly in a Fleet Canuck in 1964. Garth
studied Aerospace Engineering at Ryerson in Toronto long enough to know he
should never fly anything that he helped design or build.
In 1971, Garth started a career in general aviation as a flying instructor with
the St. Catharines Flying Club. For the next 19 years and 12,000 flying hours
Garth worked as an instructor, bush pilot, charter pilot, flying school owner
and corporate pilot at various locations in Canada.
Author
It was during his flying career that Wallace met the crazy
characters and lived the humorous stories that are in his books. He started writing about
the more interesting people in aviation with just-for-fun articles in local flying school
newsletters and then national aviation magazines. Now there are eleven Garth
Wallace books.
Editor/Publisher
In 1974, Garth started a long association with
Canadian Aviation magazine as a contributing writer. In 1990, he switched
to full-time journalism at MacLean-Hunter as assistant editor of Aviation
& Aerospace magazine. From 1994 to 2002, Garth was publisher of COPA
Flight, the monthly publication of the Canadian Owners and Pilots
Association.
Speaker
Garth lives and works outside of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
with his wife Liz who is publisher of their book company Happy Landings.
He is available to organizations seeking a humorous guest speaker for the cost of travel and accommodation
expenses and the opportunity to offer his books for sale.
