Yea, that is my son who does all the flying for Marty's show. Marty is an excellent pilot and recently got his Commercial and Flight Instructor's ratings so he can fly for the Alaska Smokejumpers when he finally can't pass the physical. He is one tough and competent guy, but the TV folks will not allow him to fly his own family during the show due to their high insurance liability clause.
He is certainly not getting rich from the show, it maybe pays about what he used to make trapping ( when they actually let him trap) but he still gets to be a real trapper for most of the winter and then fights fires all summer.
