newfieboy Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 Really good news, knowing alot of the Bond guys personally, makes it even sweeter. Congrats to the JIGSAW crews involved also, must of been a good feeling to see another company aircraft overhead so soon.Hope the bean counters realize the value of JIGSAW now. Quote

newfieboy Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 What's JIGSAW Newfie? Excuse my ignorance. Mark JIGSAW is a SAR program put in place by BP to cover their rigs in North and Central sectors of the North Sea. It involves 2xAS332L2;s configured in the SAR role and based full time offshore. Both machines supplied by Bond Offshore Helicopters as they have the BP contract out of Aberdeen. Most line crews required to do a 2 week rotation on said program as part of their rotation. Quote
