Blackmac Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 Oh Holy One; Know the place well, beat the CO a few times playing crapps. Used to run from Knob Lake to Hopedale and Great Whale to Knob with H-21's along the Mid-Canada line. Were you by any chance flying a pigboat for fuel re-supply in the summer months. The last time I was there 67-68, the base was closed and I bunked at the Transport radio station near the settlement. Blew a xmsn on a 47G4 on start up (fan quill) and changed it on the spot. I was setting up nav station's along the shoreline for a fixed wing a/c and gulf coast siesmic boat dragging a cable. Some of the original work for the offshore drilling. Susie's place in Makovik, well I have actually eaten places in Africa that were 5 stars in comparison. Shades of the past, only the old folks know. Cheers Don PS; I'm still waiting for your application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotorhead Posted February 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 Ah, the Zoo. The zoo in Fort St. James was a memorable one. I somehow was convinced that I could throw an eight ball into the corner pocket. Still don't know how I, the only white boy, got out of there alive. One I forgot...
