3BX2 Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 A quick search shows about 91 - 212, 64 - 205 and 24 - 204 on the Canadian registry. I may be a bit off on those numbers, after 10 hrs in +34 heat today and a few cold Beers at home ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunchbox Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 A quick search shows about 91 - 212, 64 - 205 and 24 - 204 on the Canadian registry. How does one look that up? Just curious, because I've been looking for this kind of stuff for personal interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transport canada web site http://www.tc.gc.ca/aviation/activepages/c...pts/en/menu.asp Quick search for Make and Model You can download database , but beware of aircraft with multiple owners that can mess up queries.

Rotorboy2 Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Those CIFFC heli numbers have grown immensely today: BC Light 96 Intermediate 207 Medium 94 Heavy 23 That's 420 helicopters on BC fires alone! So why am I sitting in NE BC with nothing to do?!?!? :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramer Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 I saw some N registered VIH machine on the Island yesterday I saw two near Campbell River. A 205, and a S61. I don't think VIH has any other N-reg'd mediums. I also saw a N-reg'd S61 near Spuzzum or Lytton, or somewhere along the Canyon (there's an airfield there somewhere, don't recall the place as I've never worked there). Not VIH, was yellow, I don't know whose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PIC Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 That's a Croman S-61 working out of Hope. Was probably getting fuel in Boston Bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
