Saw an H145 parked at the MNR in Sudbury today…….N registered. 

Back in 2006 on this site, people were commenting on people they know/knew from Dominion-Pegasus Helicopters. I'm not in the industry.  But when I was in high school (1972-1976) my best friend had an older brother who worked for Dominion-Pegasus.  His name was Charles "Chuck" Morrice.  He was a maintenance mechanic and later trained at Canadore  College and became a pilot.  I remember he was in Septs Illes at one point.   He was so good to us, telling us all about the helicopters and his work.  One weekend he had some extra work to do at Dominion-Pegasus just out of Toronto on Highway 400 and he kindly took us with him.  What an absolute thrill for two kids just 16 or 17. One summer at the Canadian International Air Show at the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) I saw Bernd Firnung of Dominion-Pegasus do a demonstration flight in an Aerospatiale Gazelle.  What a thrill!!  At one point he flew horizontally and then climbed vertically - nose pointed straight up.  As the air speed bled off to zero, he kicked the fuselage 180 degrees so she's pointing straight down, dove down and pulled out.  I have the same goosebumps writing this now that I did back then. As I would drive on the 400, I would fondly look at the building that had been Dominion-Pegasus.  At last glance it was named "Beamish". I'm not in the industry, but these are some of my most cherished memories.  Thank you.
