Flying first with New York Airways from 1968 - 1977, this S-61 moved to Canada around 1979 for Okanagan. Later flying with Canadian Helicopters, Coulson Aircrane and Sunwest Helicopters, there was also a 2 year stint with the State of Utah (N614RM) from March 1994 - 1996 . After returning from the USA the helicopter received the HeliPro Shortsky conversion which shortened the fuselage by 50 inches and improved the lifting capability by 1,000 lbs. Sold to Carson Helicopters as N448JS in 2011. This photo is copyright © Gary Vincent, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
