Universal along with Lake Else closed.

Worked contract for Universal a couple seasons ago. Quite enjoyed it, one of the best gigs in 24 years. The rapid over expansion was worrisome though. Sad news.

So with Universal bankrupt and shutting down, does that mean Lakelse Air is history as well?

They were history the moment they were bought out

Did I see Peace Heli?  Or Dominion Pegasus?

I spent 10 years with the old UHNL before it was sold, some of the best days of my career! Sad to hear the news today. End of an era! PW (lady K 😉) and later GG knew how to run an aviation business and what worked. The new management ran it into the ground with horrible decisions, wasting money in useless places and chasing international pipe dreams that did nothing but cost money they didn’t have while the little bit of local work that was still left got the cold shoulder. I feel bad for the guys and gals that were left behind. Lots of good people in there.

Sorry, DGP... I tried to merge this with your OP as this was a duplicate story. Didn't work very well and I don't seem to be able to reverse it. Would all posters please check to make sure your topic isn't already active. Thanks....

[sirlandsalot]

Yes, sorry from me as well, I tried to erase my post after I saw it was a duplicate with no success.  I thought I merged it somehow.
