Which Ian Wilson? there are several associated with the industry down under...

Brame - Check your PMs.

 

Was told that Wildcat are supplying most of the pilots for the three 212s that they are sending to Australia for the fire season. One's going to Hobart, one to Canberra and one to Sydney.

 

If you are interested in maybe going downunder then contact Ian Wilson at Wildcat and copy info to Sam Borg at Heli Aust: sam@heliaust.com.au

 

Might see some of you down this way closer to Xmas.

P.S. They are working on the roster now so would expedite your contact with them if you are interested.

I doubt that they would send Ian or tyler, so much those guys do here. we are talking about wildcat from westbank (formerly penticton ) correct?

 

so they would actually load up 212s and send them down?

Cole - Yes they will prob airfreight them down. Heli Aust have three out of five of Wildcats 212s coming down this way.

 

National Helicopters had one of their 212s down here last season and I think the company Picapart works for also had a machine down here.

 

Cheers

I thought Wildcat only had two 212's? Did Mike get 3 more this winter season?

[Cole]

We currently have two VFR twin engine Bell 212's, and one Bell 206 LR, equipped with a full compliment of shoulder harnesses, pulse lights, VHF radio, FM radio, UHF radio, low band FM radio, and GPS.

But when they had that 407 they didnt mention it in there

Not sure about that, all I can tell you is when I spoke to Sam at Heli Aust he said they had the choice of three out of five that Wildcat own. Who knows maybe they have them out on lease with another operator.

Does anyone know if Tasman was awarded any contracts down under. I know they were down there last summer. I heard a rumour they may be back in Victoria.

[picapart]

They were on a different type of contract. There contract was to protect Melborne watershed area. I'm not sure if they are going back. The other contracts were federal I do believe. I worked on those contracts for the last two years and I won't miss the politics I'll be more than happy to go back on spec and thats about it .

[Heli Ops]

Will try and find the whole lot of who got wot and post it here.

 

Cheers
