What's Burning

[Helilog56]

Heavy Aircraft left in Canada, check my numbers and see if correct?

 

214 - 3 around 1 black tusk, 2 transwest?

 

Kmax - Lakelse Air not sure who else runs them in BC / Alberta

 

61 - Sunwest?, not sure if VIH has any left in Canada

 

107 - 3 Helifor

 

64 - 2 CAC

 

234 - 1 Helifor

 

 

Would that be the total amount of heavy aircraft left in the region?

 

"VIH I believe still has a Kamov in BC and 1 61, Heliquest has also a Kmax, Sunwest no 61, and Croman stll has a 61 in YNJ".

 

"Not sure what HTS has also, but I believe they have a 214ST and also a 61".

AH....... heavy lift helo's

I remember those used to fly over while I was walking to school both ways up hill

 

Last Was heard that All "VIH" Heavies are on International contracts (Not including Cougar)

 

The Sunwest S-61 is up for sale and is operable but not operating

4 Bell 214B-1's, Black Tusk, Transwest, East West

 

The HTS machines I believe spend their time on the east coast crossing the border when needed

 

Croman has s-61 one doing some logging on and off

 

CAC has 2 in province

Helifor has 3 A/C 2 107 and I believe The 234 is in alaska

 

 

Currently Operating

4 BH214B's

2 BV107

2 S-64

1 K-max

 

=9 Heavies

 

That works out that each BC fire district gets one maybe 2 heaven forbid more than 1 province needs one :shock:

[RatDog]

Heliquest has a Kmax in Fort Mac at the moment, as does VIH having a S61.

[Darksidelogger]

They must be on fires

good to hear

[happyfeet]

According to the report form CIFFC there are 253 helicopters on casual hire as of today. This does not include contract machines.

 

Hope it lasts!! :up: .

 

And just curious, does anybody know what the available fleet size is? To get a perspective of the %.
