pitchlink Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 Hey guys, Another tidbit from TC. -------------------------------- Pacific July 26, 2000 CAR 602.01 14 days licence suspension A commercial helicopter pilot operating a Bell 206 landed close to a general store and gas station. He was fined for having operated the helicopter in a reckless manner. -------------------------------- Who hasn't landed next to a store for a snack once in a while. If you haven't had pie at Mae's Kitchen you're missing out!! Unless this driver was truly being a bone head than the TC inspector sure as **** was! Later, pl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotorhead Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 Sounds like there might be more to the story. Was this store right downtown Hong-coover? I landed in Salmon Arm one stormy afternoon in the picnic area adjacent to the Best Western parking lot. Greeted by a carload of RCMP just in having lunch. They didn't mind and said they would drop by throughout the evening to check on the old girl. Beats waiting hours for the taxi that never goes to the airport.

PIC Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 Used to land beside the Home Restaurant in Merritt while doing power line patrol. Good hearty lunch after which the linesmen were sure to sleep for the first hour of the afternoon patrol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twitch Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 This was over 20 years ago in St. Anthony Newfoundland on the seal hunt. It was not uncommon to have 5 helicopters parked in front of your room with extension cords running into the heaters. Three 500's close in and a couple of longrangers a little further out. By the way that is the "late great" Frank Carnie of Universal fame seen on the right. Frank was an outstanding pilot/engineer who died 20 years ago in that very tragic 214 crash near Argentia. Sorry for the photo quality. It’s an old pic and the scanner is not the best. twitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
