CTD Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 There's a private one in Montreal, C-xLFS - silver, black and white. Could be that one, but on second thought, I can't imagine the owner going to Atlantic Canada, as it would be far beneath him. After all, you can't get $5000 bottles of wine when you need them. Anyway, Bell sometimes ships them overseas from the Halifax Port. I've ferried several down there. Might be that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosco Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 Hey Pottsy, Go back a couple of weeks and you'll find the same topic in Helicopter Operations. I beleive it belongs to a gent who has a construction company in that neck of woods.....something along those lines. probably 2 weeks ago.

DGP Posted August 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 CTD,this one was headin north...low level...just before sunup...tried the morse code on him with my flashlite...he kept on truckin...right overtop of our 407 and L4. Rosco,the company that you are thinking about has a 407...flown by Richard Folk. This one had retactable gear....if that will help....anyways,would have made a great picture if the light had been better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
