twinstar_ca Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 There have been a lot of 1 or 2 man ops.... I think of Hi-Wood Heli (Hermann Lorenz), Aero-copters (they were just outside of Cochrane), Canmore Heli (Lance and Rocky Cooper and Lances' son Todd)....

Blackmac Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 Liftair originated from a company in the east, not sure which one, possibly Autair. Russ Shand and a bunch of other guys migrated west in the early 60/70's. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retired, last was the chief pilot at Kississing Helicopters, who were sort of absorbed into Custom a year or so back, but he was already retired by then. A Class act indeed, did my PPC's a couple years in a row at Provincial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top-notch all the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
