PIC Posted June 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 I heard a rumor that Bruce was looking for two Herman Nelson heaters recently. Who knows what he's got up his sleeve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic_front Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 You can be sure Bruce doesn't do anything without a real good reason. Especially spend money. Not working this summer Splitpin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warner Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 thought all the campbell 205s were sold off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PIC Posted June 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 I think it was MQN, an old Campbell 205, now operated by Expedition Helicopters from Ontario. Must not have had time or money to repaint it yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
