and for that reason, I have deleted the offending posts.... behave, people.. 😡

That's it... this one is closed...

I think most people are getting tired of the same old rhetoric.. the response to the attempt of the joke thread kind of says it all.... how many more ways can you say/point to/allude to the same attestation.... i really think we are getting close to the end of this thread's usefulness...i will give it to mid-week and if no new dissertations, then it will be closing time... for those who cry what gives me the right to do that?? I'm a moderator... nothing more, nothing less... just at 24 pages, it's all been said... Mike, Admin.. feel free to jump in here and back me or remove me...

Enough all... As long as there is respectful discussion on this thread, it can keep going. Seems as though all some want to do, though, is slag each other. If it doesn't stop, I will close it and start banning some people... If you don't like it, message admin or Mike...

sincere condolences to family and friends.... 🤕🤔

we'll agree to disagree then, longline... appreciate your point of view... 👍

This is drifting way off topic...

Yes, sir... I believe it is..

I would be interested in hearing the thoughts of any of the gang who fly for Parks Canada in BC and Alberta... Alpine, Yellowhead, Blackcomb, Arrow... and any other of the players who do this stuff.... I have read 2 books lately, "Guardians of the Peaks" and "Vertical Reference"... the latter is a biography of Jim Davies.... my hat off to all of you.... 👍😎

good questions... 👍😎

the offending post and the copy of it have been deleted... keep it clean and play on... 😣

ok, guys... we have the same posts being made on 2 different threads. please choose which one you want to keep.

Yes, it was... thanks for tweaking a "getting older" memory... 👍😎

GOCA was the gazelle... I had a ride down the river and we either hit or were **** close to Vne... I believe he did.... and Tony someone sold the original 520N to calgary police....

Hey, Ken... the few names I knew from that era were Gaspar de Quioroz (spelling may be way off) from Aerospatiale and Bob Ough from MBB... there was one other MBB fellow and I cannot think of his name.... Don't know where these fellows are now... Good luck with the book... I look forward to reading it... Grant
