Some historic pictures... As most know, I work for Redding Air Service in California. The company was started by Burt Train in 1957. Unfortunately he passed back in 2005, but his company lives on. The company primarily is involved in the utility industry, and I was recently forwarded a photo from the USFS of Burt doing some of the first trials for bucket work. The Tail # is N988B, this number has since been transfered to one of our L4's.



Here are a bunch of pictures from the company history---some may recognise one of the landing spots---I recently posted a picture of me approaching the same spot in one of our L4's.























This is our hangar which is still there---we have added onto it though:







More to follow...

Part two...

Here is one of our ongoing contracts---snow surveys for CA Dept. Of Water:



Same snow survey being done these days:



















And the man himself--Burt Train shortly before he passed:

Cool pics thanks for sharing!

[toptobottom]

Great pics Gordy. Also, nice to see an old man at the wheel doing what he does best

Those are some really neat photos Gordy. A real blast from the past, and great scenery.

A couple of visitors to Sumburgh - bit of a rare sight nowadays. Ah well, at least our coffee lasts longer





And a few from last year..

Are the bond crews still living in those cabins?

[tascats]

I think most of them stay there..

[Thud_and_Blunder]

Not all Bond crews live in the cabins - those lucky enough to fly the lighthouse task (admittedly BAS, but still Bond) usually get the luxury of Rooms 31 or (if particularly fortunate) 32 at the front of the hotel.
