I think we had this ship on our sesmic crew we were based in Coalville UT and our crew was comprised of two lamas. Pilots Tim Norton, Pete Hendon, Tom Kupcho ( relief ) Sid King ( relief ) Mechanics were Jack Buckley, Richard Drazil, Dennis Bergy was swamper. we reported to Al Nowacki out of Provo.
It was a great company with three divisions, sesmic, heavy lift and EMS.

We have the RMH log books from Oct 91 to Dec 93 but there are many gaps in the history so we will be very pleased to receive any anecdotes about her time with RMH. It seems that she did a lot of geophysical survey ranging as far afield as Alaska and Mexico. Above all does anyone have a photo of N3597D?
