Hi all

Great pictures.

I fly the S-61N in Airgreenland. We have two remaining in our fleet which once where a total of 8.
The one I fly this days is the OY-HAF, wich just now has over 43040 hours.
It has sn. 61287.
The two ships remaining OYHAF,and OYHAG, are due for retirement by the end of the year if they doesn't reach an agreement regard to a contract on SAR for Greenland in 2013.
It is a vey good aircraft, and these aircraft has been operated in Greenland, in an arctic environment since 1965. Mostly they are hangared but last year during offshore operations it had to be outside while the S-92 from cougar had to be inside. Not a problem for the old lady.
