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!

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!

phil.. I was on the crew that built a 214 that went up that way around 1992. She came in on a flatbed covered in road grit and flew up to Alaska about 6 months later. I never worked up there myself but was good friends with John Mulbach. He was a mechanic up there closer to the end. I heard that ship crashed not long after that. Can you confirm?

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 worked in Tucson for Rocky flying the Conquest in 1991 and 1992. Second time I worked for them. I also worked in the field for them (Alpine, Afton, Coalville) in 1980 and 1981 on 214's and 500's during the oil seismic days. Great company, nothing but good memories.

RMH Logging

[QUOTE=Thebell;6130149]I start this Thread to talk with you guys about RMH Helicopters. It would be great if we could share pictures, good memories and some stories.

wondering if any of you knew my grandpa Leon A Bradford

[GLYPHICS1943]

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?
