Aye all
I met a Skytech's guy named Derek in Abbottabad - Pakistan last week and he was running the show with several Skytech's MI 17 and one MI 26T from Rostov Avia .
He told me that he was on site since early November, flying non stop.
The WFP's MI 26 from TITAN is in fact a MI 26T owned and operated by the Russian company VERTIKAL-T of Tver in Russia
I remember in 1992 when looking for a job in Europe I met the Skytech's boss - he was very young about mid-twenties and very cool, running the show with a few MI 17s, one MI 10K, and one MI 26T (registered RA 06041) and flying himself the MI 26 too
The fleet was then based on the TEAMCO's ramp at Brussels Airport (Teamco was in charge of the maintenance of the US ARMY helicopters based in Europe)
I went to the interview with Skytech peoples but didn't got a job
Till mid nineties, Skytech was everywhere in the magazines like Rotor & Wing, Heli World, Heli International etc... but now they seems to be very discreet.
Only a recent article in September or November in Flight Magazine about Russian Heli ops mentionned Skytech operating in Yemen and Central Africa !
Very strange also this article said something about British specops MI 17 maintained by Skytech in Nepal ( CIA or MI6 ? )
I asked Derek about curent activities in the company but he told me that he didn't know with a smile, then I asked him how he got the job - " I applied " he said - leuhhhh
I asked him how to contact and he said
www.skytech-helicopters.com - but otherwise friendly and joking
A Belgian spotter confirmed me that two Skytech's MI 26 are currently based in Brussels South Airport and according to the photos in
www.!!!!!!!!!!!!!! another Skytech's MI 26 in Congo Air Force schemes was parked all this summer on the Military apron of Liège Airport
Aye Juan - alive and running -
