Guest graunch1 Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 There was a KMax on the Eagle/Alpine ramp the other day. Anyone know whose or where it went. I was told it had a US registration but also was accompanied by a pickup truck with a Bambi bucket and other support equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PIC Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 Heli-Lift International out of Yorkton, SK was using one in Ontario on a power line job for a while. It then went to BC to fight fires while the province is hiring heavies. I think that it's now working near Lillooet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Reyno Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 Heli-Lift is leasing the K-MAX from Grizzly Mountain in the US. They picked it up new from the factory in July for a power line construction job near Hawk Junction. They moved over 800 poles with it. I managed to get up there to see it on the job. See the photo feature in the next issue of Vertical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
