Operated by Club Para-Commando which was a parachute club based in St-Simon, Quebec that flew two Sikorsky S-55s (S-55B/T C-GBHA and S-55B C-GBSC) as "jump ships" from a heliport beside Highway A20 that links Montreal and Quebec City. C-GBHA was imported in 1980 and C-GBSC in 1983, and both exported to the US in April 1985. No. 55912 was delivered to Grumman Aircraft in Feb. 1956 as N751A (for SAR use?) and flew in the 1967 film "Hurry Sundown." To Orlando Helicopter Airways (OHA) as N44689 and converted to a S-55B/T in the late 1970s. To OHA in 1985 as N44689 and sold to Whisperjet in 1993. WFU? This photo is copyright © Kenneth I.
