Skidz Posted June 20, 2005 Report Posted June 20, 2005 Just spotted a K-Max at about 1500' on a heading of ~300 a couple minutes ago over Coquitlam. It caught my attention because of the strange rotor-slap. Sounded almost like when a Japanese chef sharpens his knives... Pretty slow mover too. Didn't quite have time to get my binos out, but got a good look at 'er... I'm assuming its Heliqwest's machine heading back to Courtnay... Quote
Guest jesse Posted June 21, 2005 Report Posted June 21, 2005 Good thinking because alot of low time pilots get jobs flying the K-Max. (NOT) Quote
twinstar_ca Posted June 21, 2005 Report Posted June 21, 2005 ya think it might have some brothers and sisters on the pad at destination, jesse?? Quote
Skidz Posted June 21, 2005 Author Report Posted June 21, 2005 You might note I said it was on its way back to Courtnay. Mebbe that's 'cause I was already there and banged on that particular door before ? I'm actually working right now in Langley. Finally found someone who took pity on me... Prepping an S61 that was sold to Contruction Helicopters in Michigan. Good thing I ain't scared of heights ! :shock: Quote
Skidz Posted June 21, 2005 Author Report Posted June 21, 2005 Nice avatar Maggie. Woulda been better if it were layin' an egg... Quote
transquebecniece Posted June 22, 2005 Report Posted June 22, 2005 I'm actually working right now in Langley. Finally found someone who took pity on me... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Woo-hoo, Skidoo! :up: Quote
Helilog56 Posted June 22, 2005 Report Posted June 22, 2005 Glad to see some of those tips paid off Skidz.....speaking of Courtenay, I'm back on shift tomorrow over in Nanaimo. If you come back my way let me know, if not ,I'll stop out in ynj to see how it's going....oh yea, and perhaps a "couple" of cool one's will be in order :shock: ..... :up: Quote
Skidz Posted June 22, 2005 Author Report Posted June 22, 2005 No problem there Helilog. Noticed your bday is coming up. Mebbe I can wrestle up some cake for you too. And a stripper or two for dessert... Btw, not so sure you wanna come out this way. The neighbors are still looking for a driver for that Screamin' Mimi... You might want to wear a hat and sunglasses... Quote
VERTICAL X Posted June 25, 2005 Report Posted June 25, 2005 Hey Guys and Gals Just got back from the island last night. That Kmax that went over was probably Vertical Ref on his way over to Henderson Lake. We had two Kmax's on the job for a few days. VX Quote
