My Buddy Ray Gilstorf worked for Sky Rotors...told me the story about the 2 vertols that smucked into each other out in the bush and they tied trees to the sides of the airframes to fly them back to town for further repairs....unreal! He also worked for Northern Wings ...Autair and Viking as well as Midwest and Custom. Quote
