CHI Aviation and Cougar Helicopters is there a connection

[twisted wrench]

I noticed on the web site for CHI Aviation based in Michigan (USA) and Cougar Helicopters ( Canada) have basically the same job search for S92 pilots based in St.Johns NFLD for the same salary. Plus both web sites have the same picture of the S92 with a hoist fitted in Cougar paint scheme.

I looked at the VIH Aviation Group web site ( parent company of Cougar) and I did not see any mention of CHI Aviation.

Does anyone know if these two companies have a connection?

based on heresay, ken norie (the owner of VIH A. G.) is a board member of Construction Helicopters. beyond that, i do not know much else except that when he divested himself of his VFR fleet (except for the Kamov's) some of the mediums and perhaps a 61 went to CHI.

i am prepared to sit corrected, but as a former VIH employee that is what i heard.

Some background on Ken.....seems some Bristow Money involved too.
