i think the 50K would be required for the augmentation that would be required to win that particular contest!! unless Dr. Nick (Hi everybody!) does it for less.

Well now, let's rate the pictures for a change. One requires some skill, the right a/c and nerve. The other requires reading glasses at the most and the ability to say "hmmmmmm". The last requires that one indulge in self-mutilation, similar to what is known as 'Coyote Arm'. Question is......can one chew and where does one start? Quality of photos?......oh about 8.5 out of 10.

Brought to mind is the unfortunate incident some years ago near Banff.

[407 Driver]

Sisyphus is referring to a 350B that crashed just outside of Canmore on Christmas day many years ago (late 80's ? ). A CHC 350 was returning to base with a full load, crosssed a ridge low and fast and probably encountered the dreaded servo transparency. The stinger made a 400 ft long mark in the snow, before the impact.
All were killed.

RIP M.D.

i remember that day well, 407D... was the summer before that happened that i had been out with PK in GFHP while he broke down a fly in lodge... i was out there visiting and did some photos... when paul would bring the loads out, i would unhook for him to shorten the turn around times... got some great photos..

was glad it was not a personal friend, but still mourn the loss of any life.. 🙁
