Hello. I worked for Sky Choppers in 1976. I was support for a 206B in Grand Junction, CO that was on lease to BLM that summer, providing firefighting support - Helitac team. I knew a lot of the guys there. I remember a pilot named Bruce White who was sadly lost that summer, flew into a wire in a Bell 47. I've been trying to find out what happened to the pilot that I worked with that summer, Bob Scarborough. He was a pilot in Nam and I've searched a number of databases for him. Any info about where he might be or might have gone would greatly appreciated. I'd love to reconnect if possible. Thanks for your help!

Completion center tech 90-94
I worked at the completion center in Provo from May 1990 until we all got layer off in ‘93 or ‘94. Mark Martens was DOM. Some names I remember.. John mulbach, Kelly Queensberry. I have lots of pics of the aircraft I worked on during that time. I will try and dig them up. Most of these posts are from before my time but fun to read nonetheless. Wish I could remember some more names 🤦♀️
I have great memories of my time working there. Running the fuel truck for the buffalo roundup, unboxing a bell 222 from a container from Japan, reconstructing the crashed Bell 214 from Columbia, prepping and striping BKs for paint. I have pictures of all of it. I’ll post them here as I can. Was fun to find this!

I ran the S61 logging operation in Alaska from 1990 to 1993. Great outfit and had some really great people there. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and we had some great fun working all through SE Alaska. The bankruptcy in 1993 ended the operation, but RMH came out of it as a purely EMS operation and was finally sold to Air Methods.
Met some great people while I worked there, and still stay in touch with lots of them.
They had some great seismic and utility operations, and a great in-house capability to modify and complete machines for EMS and other applications. I learned to love the Lama while working there!

Ahhh! A fellow Rocky Dude!
Rocky was one of the best helicopter company I have ever worked for! I joined in 1998 in Tucson, AZ as a mechanic. I was called, "Pete the Mechanic!"
An EMS base called Air Care at the time. BK117, BO-105CBS, and a Cessna 441. Then later the fleet were replaced with Astars and called themselves, LifeNet Arizona.
Oh, what great times! Todd McKiney, Joe Foster, and Jeremy Danforth were the maintenance guys I worked with. The people I worked with were great to work with.
I left RMH in late 2000 to work on a EMS Bell 407. Yep, I am still here on the 407's. Best aircraft I have ever worked on.
What about you? Who, what, where were you at Rocky?

I delivered a Jet Ranger from the east coast to Rocky Mountain Helicopters, sometime in 1975. Might have been brokered by Helicopter Associates. I went through Army flight school with Larry Doll. Anyone know what's become of him?

From: Redding CA, or on a fire somewhere
Larry was last known living in the Redding, California area. He worked for me at Redding Air Service part time, but quit due to his full time job. He was working at Reach Air Medical here in town. His son was alst known to be a ranger at Whiskeytown National Park. I believe Larry's wife died about 10 years ago and he remarried, but cannot confirm this.
