Puddle Jumper Posted April 6, 2005 Report Posted April 6, 2005 Hey Guys Anyone have any info on Discovery Helicopters....good or bad. I have heard good things in the past about them. Thanks. Quote
Guest Angry Egg Driver Posted April 7, 2005 Report Posted April 7, 2005 I don't know a lot about them.Landed at there hangar last year in Atlin to drop someone off and it looks like they had nice aircraft and a very nice facility.Norm came ut to help us on a fire that was going to burn our drill camp up and seemed like a real professional guy.The customer I was flying for said that he had used them in the past and liked them. :up: Quote
Blackmac Posted April 7, 2005 Report Posted April 7, 2005 Angry Egg Driver: I assume by your handle that you are flying 500's. Why the anger, it's probably the most fun helicopter around. Cheers, Don Quote
arctic_front Posted April 8, 2005 Report Posted April 8, 2005 I know Norm @ discovery very well. He is a consumate pro, runs nice eqipment, and has a great engineer, a gal, that looks after everything really well. She learned it all from Norm who is also DOM. Few places on earth are as beautiful as Atlin. Not sure what equipment he's running this year, but an L-1 and at leat one jetbox almost for sure. He is a stickler for doing things right. no B.S. oh, and did I mention how beautiful Atlin is? Its a tiny town 110 miles south of whitehorse, about 400 people, and not much there, but the scenery will have your jaw hanging open all day. I was lucky to have lived in atlin for three yrs....would live there again anytime. Quote
Guest Angry Egg Driver Posted April 8, 2005 Report Posted April 8, 2005 Hey Blacmac.I'm not angry at all just the little beast that i'm flying around in.You're right,the sportiest machine i've ever flown.Maybe I should call myself the egg driver. Quote
Puddle Jumper Posted April 10, 2005 Author Report Posted April 10, 2005 Thanks for the replys guys. The reason I was asking was I saw Discovery had an add looking for apprentices. Although I am only a first year aircraft maintenance student I fired off a resume regardless. Just lookin to build experience and was wondering what the guys on the other end of the line were like. I vagely remember stoppin in to see them years ago when I finished my flight training but couldnt remember what type of a response I recieved. Thanks again! PJ Quote
