Thought I would give you all a heads-up.

Clearwater Fine Foods in Halifax is looking for a helicopter pilot/engineer. They are getting a Bell 427 in March. They also just bought a Challenger 604, have a King Air 350 and Hawker 800XP. I did a story on their flight department a few years ago - great bunch of guys, and a good company to work for.

Any of those looking for additional info can PM me.

The Hawker has gone abroad!

 

[Rotorhead]

Are they down there in your hanger there Chevy?

[Vertical Mag]

They are in the process, or have already moved into the Execaire hangar - needed more room.

 

[CHEVY II]

RH...They are still in the same hangar for now, buffing and polishing that brand new Challenger. There new home is just getting the finishing touches. Sometime in March maybe. 😉

Although it is somewhat cramped with their machines...I think they were getting annoyed with me having them drag them outside so I could the Jetbox out of the back of the barn... :angry:

Honestly...I think they are moving to avoid me <_< . They allready have enough polishing to do without having to clean up my paw prints and drool all over that shiny 427 :blink:

NS has to be the only province with a totally private helicopter fleet...

 

[Rotorhead]

Yes, the ratio of private to commercial operaters here is pretty high.

Looks like a nice aircraft, but the corporate life is not for everyone.

Any idea what the machine will be used for? Golf trips, etc?

Shall we name her the "CRUSTACEAN CRUISER"
I wonder if that guy in Shorts lake ever got his machine

 

[Rotorhead]

Oh, no!

Hope it's not the guy I'm thinking of.

Chevy II, who's Gary Hamblin? Is he the Corporate Chief Pilot and/or the Challenger Captain?

 

[CHEVY II]

So Clearwater is looking for a pilot again are they? I was there corporate pilot 16 years ago when they had the longranger. Great job and great people.Whoever gets this job will truly enjoy it if ya like the corporate world.Im truly amased they are looking for a pilot engineer.Think Ill give Gary.John and Colin a call

 

[Rotorhead]

Is this the guy you were thinking of RotorHead?

No, different fellow altogther. I know an individual that tried to teach himself float flying at Shortts Lake a few years ago. Thought it might have been him that FrenchWrench was referring too. That would have been truly frightening.

Hey MINI, what are your thoughts on a Pilot/Engineer?
Are you saying that they shouldn't, and contract out the maintenance, or ??

Just wondering what your point of view is.
