Barry displayed his entrepreneurial spirit and began the dream to own and operate his own company. Barry moved to the Okanagan Valley in 1969 and founded Kelowna Flightcraft in 1970. He identified that there was a niche market opportunity in the Okanagan for an aircraft maintenance company. The company initially performed inspection checks, maintenance and other various tasks on assorted small aircraft throughout the Okanagan from the back of a truck. Over the years this expanded to courier and charter services.
