About Our Crew
Our Founder, Roger Currier, passed away in April 2021 after a courageous battle with bone cancer. His wife Sue, daughter Sara and our new Chief Pilot Roger Paradise, carry on where Roger Currier left off, so that his legacy will continue for all to enjoy.
Roger Currier graduated from the University of New Hampshire in 1966 and entered the field of aviation in the U.S. Air Force, where he worked as an aircraft mechanic and supervisor for four years. In the mid 1970’s he received his pilots license and quickly became interested in bush flying. With this new interest in bush flying, he and his wife Sue and infant daughter Sara, moved to Moosehead Lake in the Spring of 1982. Currier’s Flying Service was founded that fall.
Roger enjoyed taking tourists and many locals up in his vintage seaplanes to see the scenery of Moosehead Lake. For over 20 years, Roger also flew as a contract pilot for the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, conducting wildlife surveys as well as search and rescue flights. He always enjoyed sharing his vast knowledge of the region with tourists visiting the area.
When not flying, Roger was often found in one of our hangars which have been transformed by him into a working museum and his spirit is still felt throughout as you wander through it.
Today, Roger Paradise is our Chief Pilot and Director of Operations. Having grown up in this vast wilderness region, Roger has an extensive knowledge of the area and a passion to continue the seaplane heritage.
About the Planes
(Left to Right) Cessna 180, DeHavilland Beaver, Cessna 195
The Great Pumpkin was adopted into Currier’s Flying Service in more recent years. This Cessna 195, also made in 1948, came to us bright orange and had a lot of work to be done to it – including a new paint job!
Our 1954 deHavilland Beaver is our largest seaplane, holding 6-7 passengers at a time!
