Slinging 100 pound propane tanks in to Longworth Peak, a Forest Service Radio and lookout station east of Prince George, British Columbia. My first ride in a helicopter and I enjoyed it a lot. There would be many more flights for me over 35 years, but I will not forget this one. Back in those times the helicopters were equipped with HF radios and you can see the stinger antenna at the nose.

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.

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.
