Have not heard of peska helos before but i take it they fly of tuna boats,also i got told there is a mob in american samoa that use 44s mayby its them.had a mate last year flying for tropic helos.crazy story about his drunk spotter,its the sptters job to take the tie downs of which hold the heli on deck,they were in the machine ready to go the master screaming in his ear (fry fry you fry now) old mate got the thumbs up that tie downs off he pulled power but the bloody rear pax side tie down was still on as the heli lifted the tie down pulled the heli starboard side in the water,heli hit part of the ship as it fell in the water both of them lucky to get out alive.
