Zishelix Posted March 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 I have CF-CCZ operated by Shirley Helicopters... but I'm still not sure about serial number of that Gazelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvis Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Shirley might have bought it after Okie took control of Dom-Peg in 1975. The last ime I worked on it was in King City that year. Dom-Peg's other two were on a contract in Zaire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elvis Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Working on a contract to set up microwave towers. I think the project was controlled by CIDA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wcobra Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Yep, this brings back some fond memories!! Karl Ziehe and Wayne Eng flew the Shirley Helicopters Gazelle C-FTCS (among other machines - 1979 / 80) out of Whitehorse. Karl was the Engineer / Pilot at the base with Big John Flesher as the Base Manager. I had the privilege of "apprenticing" under Karl on TCS when I first started in this industry. I truly enjoyed that machine! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cambox Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Shirley's Gazelle during the summer of 1974 at Eagle Lake base camp during the Dryden 18 fire. If you weren't there, it was a pretty big event! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvis Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 I was there, and the Gazelle was Dom-Peg's at that time. Yes it was a big fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
