Sending our crew in style<\/h1>\n

Blackcomb Aviation Ltd. hired one of our crew to work in Peace River on their Bell 407. Well, these are working commercial machines and they needed him right away.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

How to get him to Peace River quickly? By air. \u00c2\u00a0How about in a Cessna 510 Citation Mustang with 2 turbine engines, 4 leather passenger seats, obviously 2 wings and most important, a beer fridge. Our customer did the math and it was cheaper to fly him up in one of their jets. \u00c2\u00a0Wait while he did the repair after hours, fly him back, and all in less than a day\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s work with no downtime for the machine. If we had flown commercially that would have likely been a 3 day effort.<\/p>\n

The work required was in a A Bell 407 in Peace River. \u00c2\u00a0The Bell needed a mod to its audio system so that the rear passengers could hear the FM radio. \u00c2\u00a0The aircraft was fixed in about an hour and a half, Nick then hopped back into the rear of the Cessna, checked out that well-earned contents of the fridge, while the pilots flew back to YVR. \u00c2\u00a0This was the fastest job, fastest trip ever.<\/p>\n
