As experienced pilots and aviation enthusiasts, they go above and beyond to make every airplane purchase a fun and memorable experience for their customers.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In the 1990s, Lindsay and Hannah both retired from their day jobs to pursue careers in aircraft sales. Lindsay, a one-time chiropractor and real estate developer, first discovered a love of flying at age 15. Hannah was a former professional motocross and Supercross racer, a seven-time AMA champion. Later, he got into air racing, flying a modified P-51 <em>Voodoo <\/em>in the Unlimited Gold Class in the Reno Air Races. For years, the two were friendly competitors in the light plane business, until they realized they could join forces and turn their shared passion into a successful and personally rewarding business.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In 2002, Lindsay and Hannah formed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.northwestbackcountryaircraft.com\/default.htm\">Northwest Backcountry Aircraft<\/a> LLC, located in Caldwell, Idaho. Today, Northwest Backcountry Aircraft is one of the largest, longest-lasting bush plane dealerships. With 30,000 square feet of hangar space, the sales organization specializes in bush planes, particularly American Champion, Maule Aircraft, and Expedition Aircraft.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Northwest Backcountry Aircraft is all about taking customer service to new heights. \u201cA typical demonstration day with us is all day,\u201d Lindsay says.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Hannah adds, \u201cWe take customers flying all day with two to five airplanes to backcountry strips. We go to the places that the customer sees themselves using the airplane. By the time a customer leaves, they really know the airplane they\u2019re purchasing. It\u2019s like bush plane boot camp.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lindsay goes on to explain that the Hartzell carbon fiber composite two-blade Trailblazer propeller is well suited for the aerobatic and bush planes offered at Northwest Backcountry Aircraft. He says, \u201cThe Hartzell Trailblazer changed our business. We tested the Trailblazer back-to-back in a very controlled study, and the performance is unquestionably better in all parameters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lindsay adds, \u201cAfter three years on at least 25 planes, we\u2019ve had zero issues. It\u2019s the only prop we order!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Northwestern Backcountry Aircraft has a robust and ever-changing inventory of backcountry and aerobatic aircraft to fit the needs of any adventure-seeking pilot.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.northwestbackcountryaircraft.com\/default.htm\">NorthwestBackcountryAircraft.com.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kasey \u201cBonecrusher\u201d Lindsay and Bob \u201cHurricane\u201d Hannah don\u2019t just sell airplanes.
