Aes Corporate Take Over

[blizzard]

Wasn't Peace Helicopters owned by a drilling company??

I always thought Peace was a pretty good outfit....

I think that Peace was owned by a seismic line cutting company, and the bean counter who owned a machine made all the money. His machine always had the high flying jobs with the best rates.

Nabors Trivia:

 

In the 70s they had an Aztec based in Calgary and graduated to a Cheyyane II.

The pilot at this point did one of 2 smart things.

1.He married Claire's daughter

2.He started NA Aviation in YXD then YYC with guess who's money? They had GIs, Metros, Falcon 20, Lear 35 etc mainly bag running,.

 

 

I don't know if he is still married to the daughter but NA Aviation folded a few years back, the owner sold his house at the Bearspaw Country Club and departed for places unknown owning a number of folks lots of $$$$$$$$$$$$

I think I received the last good cheque out of the company about 2 weeks before it went belly up :up:

 

anyone know who I am talking about??

 

pm for answer if you really care

Just to add to the rumour mill here..............I little birdy from inside Nabors (and that is the correct spelling :up: ) has told me that they are in serious talks about leasing/investing/operating a skycrane in the near near future to move a new style fold up and go drilling platform. Anybody else heard of this? :shock:

Either a Crane or a Mi 26. Leasing rates on a Mi 26 look a lot better to the corporate office.

Now THAT would make a diversified fleet! I wanna see a R22 parked next to a Mi 26! (maybe even parked on a blade? )

I heard from my source the MI-26 will be in Canada as early as next month or by January 2006. It is not just a rumour that it is coming to Canada, it is a fact. Can't wait to see the beast.

So who's gonna be operating this a/c ? Are they getting TC approval for commercial ops in Canada ? It took VIH years to get approval to bring in their Kamov's...

[Rotorhead139]

The 26 will be crewed with Russians at first, until Airborne has a Canadian check pilot, which is already in the works. I know of a guy in Alberta who has about 500 or so hours as captain on the things who has been approached by them.
