Year of Manufacture 1973

Country of Manufacture U.S.A.  

 

Ya...picky, picky, picky.   Those hours divided by the years = 750 hrs / year.  Do you think OK, CHC/CHW/CHL ever paid that 206 off ?  ;)  :D

 

I would hope so, but remnants of the "mortgage" sticker was still there. No one knows why they sent it off our base. Guess the morale was too high on that orange coloured base and the Associated boys wanted that to change. :D

 

Here is a rare shot of Newman and HTP on HIGH gear just before she went to the flatlands...

The CHC morailty police should have caught that decal and squashed it way back in '89, I can't believe that Zoom'in Newman got away with having a (gasp :shock: ) OKie hummingbird in public view all these years.

Shame Dave, Shame :D:D

 

 

RH, both sleds on HIGH gear? :up: :up: well done !

nice pic, RH!!! but do my eyes deceive me?? is that not an orange circle with a blue hummingbird between the 206 and the 350???  :shock:  B)

 

I spent a while trying to find the aerial shot of the base. May be the only one with the old Okie logo in the ramp.

If it weren't for Dave, I wouldn't have been there as long as I was. He's a great guy to work for. From what I heard, he didn't share the wealth in his early years, but always gave me tonnes of flying while I was there. Averaged a hundred hours per month when I was on the base. As for "...I can't believe that Zoom'in Newman got away with... ", he retired many years before he stopped collecting a paycheque and Edmonton knew it, they just couldn't afford to tick him off.

OK, perhaps I read all the posts to this thread a little quickly, but...

 

Is FHTR missing or what? I don't recall seeing an answer there.

 

(Oh man, all these threads turn into massive nostalgia trips for so many ppl)

ttf, i lived there in '77... at that time, there was a basically a fabric hangar and a wooden pad that had the blue hummingbird painted on there... it seems to have changed a bit there!!! was room for HTX inside and that was about it!!!
