Heli Ops Posted October 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Looks like no one wants them. Ok guys disregard the offer. Kyle please delete the post when you visit the site again or if one of the moderators reads this, go ahead and delete the post. Thanks Heli Ops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomex Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 heli-ops, hold on there - its midnite in Canada on the westcoast and 3 am Ontario time - everyone is likely asleep!! I'm sure you'll get some replies come morning. I already have one coming my way, or else I would be pm'ing you. Good looking calendar.

Heli Ops Posted October 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 I tried to edit my post after I realised the time difference but the way Kyle has this forum set up sucks as you cant edit your own posts once they are made. :down: Makes it hard if you make a mistake and want to change something.

PIC Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Heli Ops, don't despair. There are still plenty of interested people in Canada, I'm sure. Just give them a chance to reply... As for me, I just walked in from the local pub so I'm still up this time of night! As for why I think that the helicopter industry is great. Well, I've met awesome people all over Canada, I've had a chance to see spectacular places that most people would pay big bucks to see, and I'm getting paid to do something I like that provides me with a decent income while working 4 to 5 months of the year! Beats working 9-5, M-F anytime in my opinion. Great pictures by the way. Looking forward to seeing your calendar one day. Cheers!

Elvis Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 I have been employed in the helicopter industry for 32 years now have travelled from coast to coast, spent time in India and several countries in Europe all on the company dime. It's been a blast and with maybe a small change here and there I would do it all again. :up: :up: :up: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CHEVY II Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 * Post on this thread why you like the helicopter industry you work in. Well this should be the easiest thing I have to do today... What's not to like about this industry? :up: First and foremost, as a whole, the people I've become accquainted with are generally A-1. Always willing to lend a hand when the chips are down to get the job done, always have somthing constructive to add, even if it is is the competition. I always ket a big kick out of seeing someones face after flying in one of our beasts for the first time. It's somthing you give and lasts them a lifetime :prop: We are a small group of people which possess the skills (in varying degrees) to operate a very versatile piece of equipment that can have huge impacts in other people's lives when called upon. I've operated lot's of "gear" for various industries, but the Helicopter Industry along with everything that goes with it still #1 in my books! :up: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gannet Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 While most of my time is military, the family aspect of helicopters is what I like. I've had the pleasure of meeting some people, and its great to fly in somewhere, find someone you know who is there, too, and catch up. I'm now teaching ab initio military students, and it seems like fun so far. Now if I manage to get through without adding too many grey hairs, I'll be happy.

twinstar_ca Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 i'm not directly in the industry although i follow it closely. while doing some freelance writing and photography when PS still had corvus, i had the opportunity to meet many members of the industry and still like to maintain close ties with them when i get the chance... bottom line for me is i just plain like helicopters... always have... always will.. :up: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
