NYA offered scheduled helicopter service from atop the Pan Am Building in Midtown Manhattan to airports in the area. Founded in 1949, an accident in 1977 on top of the Pan Am building precipitated the closure of this heliport; the airline stopped operating two years later. This S-61 was later N614RM and C-GJDR, now flying logging operations with Sunwest helicopters in rebuilt shortened form.
