Sorry, DGP... I tried to merge this with your OP as this was a duplicate story. Didn't work very well and I don't seem to be able to reverse it. Would all posters please check to make sure your topic isn't already active. Thanks....

Sincere condolences to family, friends, and shipmates... ☹️

Ahhh.... Thanks for the correction, Amphibious... 👍

Another couple by Mr. Corley-Smith were 10,000 Hours and Helicopters in BC... I think I gave my copies to a local Air Cadet Squadron when I lived in YQW... Isn't son Gerry still with or was with Highland?

Alpine has to be up there... I remember meeting Mr. Janzen when I was just an early teenager, and I'll be 63 this year....

Bob Spracklin flew with North Central Heli in La Ronge and then In Saskatoon with Paul Bergeron when they opened North Central's flight school in S'toon.. I did a story on them there...

Did you know Jim Munro, Don??

And that in itself is very sad, Gray.... so many have come and gone... 😪

There have been a lot of 1 or 2 man ops.... I think of Hi-Wood Heli (Hermann Lorenz), Aero-copters (they were just outside of Cochrane), Canmore Heli (Lance and Rocky Cooper and Lances' son Todd)....

Rupert's Land... Haven't heard that name in a long time. I was up in La Ronge when I was still writing for the original "Helicopters" magazine. Rupert's was just finishing off the new hangar so I pitched in and helped.... Had a few cold ones that night with Don, Sybil, and can't remember the name of the other 500 driver who was there... 👍😎
