Not that you'd know anyway. Could you pass the WPC test given to wildfire fighters? I doubt it. kakato maybe.
Niiiiiice! Love the sound of a bell turbo spooling up!

No mans land,where Gilbert would perish untill I saved him.
I'm not a hero,im a survivor.
I found out how tough I was in the arctic and found out what limitations I had and I had none,there is also nothing sweeter the a bell longranger firing up,it meant you were going home. I flew this bird for 20 minutes,biggest rush of my life

After 7 weeks of living in a prospectors tent and pooping in a bucket,the heli was allways a godsend to get back to the world,south of 60.

13 winters was enough me and you're right, spooling up sounds sweet but the sweetest sound is when the rotors are pitched.
ya,and your in the air,then you know hes committed to take you to the airport.Heli pilots are a curious bunch.
in the arctic they are gods,because there the dudes that are going to get u out of camp and they know it.
funny but I just went and redid the course last week,I have it allready,its good for life.
I've never been in a chopper, although, when I worked in the NWT they flew in 737 jets on an 8 thousand foot gravel runway... that was crazy.
heh,like Chuck Fipke? He needed a case of beer to get ready to fly to town for another case of beer.He found Canadas diamond industry and theres a book about him called the barrenlands and the cook Dianne mentioned in it was my cook at many arctic camps,she was very famous and mine inspectors and what not all made sure thery dropped by our camp for a good meal and a story or two from Dianne.
Gravel? Lucky you!
I worked for Fipke under his cute little redheaded protege Ira waaaay back in the mid 90's.
I had to do a mile for the c130s to land and at Rankin inlet the strip was crazy short for a 737 but they did it all the time.The 3 air crashes in the territories this year were all planes I flew on at sabina gold this spring,maybe why im not going back.Funny how some think your bragging about this stuff,i'm just happy to share the experience with as many as possible because no way will they ever get to see this.

Last chopper pilot I regularly flew with committed suicide but at least he did it by himself in a car.
