Perhaps a part of this group of companies....

As with all these kinds of outfits....read the contract very carefully! If you get stiffed for pay...who actually holds the contract with the US government and how many subcontractors are between you and the prime contractor? That has an almighty affect upon your ability to go against them for breach of contract.
It could be on the up and up...but be careful folks!

And is the money that these companys pay worth the extra risk involved?

Do you watch the evening news? If you do, then it'll probably answer all of your questions.
But, if previous threads on this subject are anything to go by, the risks are extremely high and they are generally looking for ex-Special Forces types anyway. Try the search function.
Er, were you really expecting an answer in 5 hours????
I'm sure that if it did happen and if the people involved are Prooners, then they might post. But I also imagine that internet access in Baghdad is probably pretty sporadic at best.

It has been nearly a year now, and the rotation was going to be 6 weeks on 4 weeks off, you would have thought there would be some of the drivers on leave with internet and ppruners that know them?
If it is up and running they are doing a good job at keeping a low profile.

Iraq 105 Op doomed by wannabees
To answer your questions, no it never did get off the ground and was never liable to. Sadly the whole thing was poorly-thought out, and even less-well planned. I mean guys, 105's scuttling about the green zone low-level? And the reason they chose 105's? 'Because they can fly at 90KIAS on one engine' (Yes, a genuine quote! ) It was a shame that so many experienced pilots and very capable people wasted their time responding to this company, giving them free advice and all for ...... diddly-squat!
They are just aviation equipment suppliers with a few decent old-boy network Hereford connections, but with no real financial backing, operational grunt or experience on the line, so were ignored by those wid de money in de Ummah!
Rule #1 - If you can't keep up with the big boys - best not to try to join in the game!

I'm not sure of any Civilian operators operating in Iraq (mostly if not all military) but I believe there are a couple in Kuwait or/and Jordan. A Google search may help you

B212 in Afghanistan
There is a commercial operation in Afghanistan, the operator of Pacific Helicopters, Papua New Guinea.
Their phone number is +675 732 1833. The MD's name is Ken Blain, perhaps there are a few parallels in the Area of Operations???
Cheers,

The only 412's I've seen in Iraq are Italian militatry. There were supposed to be some sprayers doing work between Balad and Baghdad, but I don't think it lasted very long.

I think Blackwater Helicopters may be.
Speaking of which , I saw some clips of them on the weekend on www.youtube.com.
Just in the search function put "blackwater" and on the left hit search by rating...some interesting flying clips there.
Especially the one where the guys in the 500 pop up on the corner of the building where the guys with the machine gun are at , knock them to the ground with the skid , clear their table of items ..with the skid & then give them the finger on departure......
If they are not operating I am sure they would know who is & details....looks like they had around 5 odd 500's there.

Great BW vid, mad fools.
Well the 412's certainly aint Italian, and were not dusting. So think they are a new addition to the hangar at WAHP.
Again a quote will be forthcoming from them.
