Ah that’s interesting. I moved next to the pipeline in 1990 and it was a Jetranger on a weekly basis. It was usually a Saturday morning as I wasn’t home during the week. I guess their S-76’s were too costly for the exercise :-)
Was later replaced by either a 210 / RG so I guess it could have been a Cutlass as I didn’t know the difference back then.
