Love has Wings takes you through the history of Quebec aviation of the country's development through a first class bush pilot -- Thomas Fecteau and his wife Francoise Gaudreau, daughter of a surveyor. Yet from southern Quebec, they met beyond the 48th parallel and formed a delightful couple for more than six decades.
More than a mere documentary about aviation, the film is filled with multiple love stories where passion and vulnerability are closely linked: love of aviation and the insecurity of the flight conditions; love of nature and the austere way of life; love of Francoise and Thomas despite the great distances apart and concerns.
Love has Wings will appeal to many devoted followers from steering bush pilots to the Space Station, but also nature lovers, history and even romantics at heart!
