Not going through the door on that one!

Hey Super T, I seem to remember you stating you only work a couple of months a year...how about you buddy? 😉

I guess it's one of them "OOOOPS" moments then! Apparently even experienced outfits can have those.

I remember a couple of times when Mrs. Clause flew Santa to the Kids' Christmas Party in a good ol Jet Ranger; awesome time! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everybody!!

It's still in use on the 204B.

Ice Fish, Cross-Country Ski, work on the 'Rod, you know...fun stuff!

And of course TC is quite efficient and timely in their response/approval processes!

Ya, you're correct! I was thinking along those lines but couldn't resist providing the answer to the question. Apologies for being part of the drift!

Well, the ICAO (International Carbon Affiliates Organization) recognizes that Carbon is the chemical backbone of life on Earth and the compounds of Carbon regulate the Earth's temperature, make up the food that sustains us, and provides energy to warm (and cool) our homes, power our helicopters etc. and as such fuels our global economy; in short when Carbon is utilized (ie consumed or burned) the resulting use of such neutralizes said Carbon. Extrapolation from the foregoing, a helicopter that burns hundreds of liters of hydrocarbons per hour is neutralizing the Carbon at a great rate; logic would then dictate that a helicopter IS CARBON NEUTRAL 🙂. Next question please...

Yes

All the gratitude we have and express! Oh, and the spelling lessons 😉.

Yup, AFS! Fond memories of sloughshark slurry and canned cream corn in the old campaign fire tent camps! Forestry "city boys" coming out to get their bush points as fire bosses? And on and on and on! Ahh the good ol days!

Yes, that's correct. Bill and Darcy were awesome Engineers! I suspect Darcy learned a ton from Bill and carried on with the same habits.

That's because the Engineer in Terrace at that time was an incredibly detail oriented, conscientious, knowledgeable guy! All his machines were meticulously maintained 🙂.
