rotarywing Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 So there you have it. I'd remembered Dean and Randy shortly after making the list, and could vividly see Ted's face, but not remember his name at all. As for the elusive 17th member I have been drawing a blank for on that for lot's more than a decade now (geez, and ta think I'm loosing my memory at only +- 30yo). It's good to hear that all of the "fledglings" appear to be alive, well and still relatively active in the industry, and it sure seems that it would be an organizational nightmare to get everybody around a table for a few jugs of drafts. I'd bet that the stories that would be told, fabricated, modified, abridged and lamented would more than fill a volume or two of "daring do" and "hero stuff". Well good on ya guys, here's to hoping that we all live to see the days when aviation gets dangerous (bla, bla, fish paste)....and sex gets safe again. Fly safe, go well. DC DC I was on the dark side, (maintence) when all you guys where out there working on getting your rotarywing licence. Definitly a bunch of charactors, we had alot of fun partying with some of you and latter worked with some of you as pilots in the feild. Time was just yesturday........Lots OF fun Take Care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

212dude Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Dennis Wilson, was alive and well in Cape Town, South Africa where he has been flying for the past 15 years or so. Andre Vandrie was with CHC Global, on the Sudan seismic job, and prior to that the Antarctic and Islands contract. I believe he is offshore somewhere now.

ZAPPER68 Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Cal Fryer was the chief pilot of Abu Dhabi helicopters for many years. He stopped that about a year ago and as far as I know is still flying the line there. Cal Fryer posted an ad on JUST PILOTS a couple months ago looking for EC135 and EC130B4 pilots for a new company in the UAE called Falcon Aviation Services. I phoned him and he confirmed he jumped ship from Abu Dhabi Aviation last August and is now Falcon's new Ops Manager. By the way he filled the positions as advertised.
