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

Great little video with a shout out to Valley Helicopters, Mountain Air, and I thought I saw a Yellowhead 206 departing at one point... Regardless, all of you made the industry proud. Good Show!! 👍😎

and to be more fair, you aren't worth getting upset over...

So what was the point of playing video from May?? 😡😡😡

double post fixed, DGP... great stories, by the way!!! kind of reminiscent of the old days of hangar flying!! 😄👍

Have at 'er, DGP!! 👍😎

Beautiful Obituary... 🤔

OK... that's it.... I think we have reached the usefulness of this thread and I am closing it... if admin, who is higher on the chain than me want's to re-open it, have at it... but as far as I am concerned, we're done... let's expend the same energy in supporting the family of our brother from Black Tusk... That's way more important...

I'm about done with this, gang... i'll let the thread go a couple of more days and and if we don't get anything new or relevant, it WILL be closed... no more slagging or insulting... lets be the professionals we say we are... 😣

Let me know when the name is released and I will add our brother to the wall... 🤕🤔

Sorry for the loss of a dear friend and mentor, amphibious... Although, sounds like you will keep him living on in how you pass on his teachings to you... 👍

Any further details on this??

I let it go because people want to talk about it, whether you like it or not. If you're done with it, quit reading the thread.

Condolences to family and friends. I have added his name to the Remembrance Wall...

Nice post... thanks for letting everyone know that kindness still moves on... good show!! 👍😎

My wife at her job has had both a client and a staff member test positive and the staff member is in the hospital currently... we are both double psizered.... get the stupid shots and quit b****ing... just IMHO....

CTV said the man had a licence to drive the helicopter... sometimes I hate reporters!!! 🤪

glad to hear all are ok.. 👍

I believe it's ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) who set the standards...

As we used to say, "good show"... 👍

as always, glad to hear the driver walked away.. or at least limped with assistance... stay safe out there, boys and girls!! 👍😎
