Dominion-pegasus Helicopters Pilots And Engineers

Back to the Dom-Peg thread again. This past week I happened to meet an old friend who I worked with at DP in the mid 70's and he just happened to have an old employee list. Some of the people I know where they are and what they're doing, but others I don't have a clue. If ya know about any of these guys, let us know.

If I rember at that time in pickle we had John Harmon Myself John Row AKA Skid Row John Crlmer Jill Porier Gower Bronell who died later that year in a 47 Vick was the new Chief Pilot after the take over . also around in those days was Boogner with his S55 I rember they had it sitting on drums at king city while they changed it over to floates and it fell over so mutch for the S55. Burt Furnong was the base manager in King City of corse we had Earny Grant and I think it was Ron Boyd I later ran into a lot of the same crue at STH as well as Helie Voyager before I came west to Trans north in late 72-73 I ran into Boyd in the Yukon at one time but lost track of most people I never went back ease to fly once you get into the rocks you tend to stay

I did some avionics work for them (I was with IJA in Whitehorse then) in Inuvik in the winter 73-74 on the B205 and I think they had a 206 there as well as one of the United Helicopter Hughes 500s. New blue hangar - no lights, no heat, but out of the wind.

 

Can't recall the pilots names but one of them told be a story of flying the 206 on a very cold day, the lubricant in the head was wrong and everything literally froze up. Got it down on one piece.

 

This is the same time that an AII - Frontier(?) I think, had a tail boom break in cruise - luckily on the lower side of the torque so it compressed into itself and he was able to skid it to a stop on the ice.

 

And, the joys of the Mad Trapper

I was looking through "Just Converstion" and saw an item on TransQuebec Helicopters and it got me to thinking about Dom-Peg people. I wonder is anyone knows names and what these folks are doing now. I'll throw out a few names to start with--John Rowe, John Gould, Buck Spears, and Randy Brading. Anyone else with some names and whereabouts. I started with them in the early seventies.
