Only met Gus once on the apron up North. And my condolances to family friends and all that knew the gent.
As a matter of interest to alot of people on the Western and the Northen Isles is what is going to happen when the contract changes.
There are quite alot of backroom storys about the Islander pulling off the nearly impossible mainly due to the quality crew and the shall we say unique abilitys of the islander. There is always something great about watching an islander hover landing across a runway when nothing else can get in.
And the the storys of islanders getting into ice and the manner they escaped put the fear of god up me just thinking about the situation.
Can the helicopters really improve the service that Logan Air and the islanders are doing just now?. And its going to one hella of a steep learning curve for the crews operating in the highland when they come on line.
