History
Established in 1963.
It all began in 1963, when retired Air Force Colonel and WWII vet Henry «Hank» Rust founded Rust’s Flying Service using a Piper Super Cub (two-seat airplane) to fly hunters and fishermen to remote areas of Alaska. As times changed, so did this little business. Rust’s Flying Service added airplanes to accommodate more fishermen, hunters, flightseers and Alaska’s burgeoning tourist industry. Over the next 40 years, Rust’s fleet grew to include nine seaplanes, including Cessna 206’s, deHavilland Beavers and Otters. The types of trips offered also changed from just hunting and fishing, still a core business, to include an assortment of flightseeing tours of Alaska’s most popular destinations such as Mt. McKinley, and bear viewing tours in Katmai National Park, flights to wilderness cabins and remote upscale lodges.
In 1996, the Rust Family introduced a new concept in day bear viewing tripsto Katmai and Reboubt Bay Lodge These tours popular allowing Rust’s to offer daily departures.
