Note some were scanned photos, others were from slides.
My scanning method for the slides sad to say, changed the
orange color to more of a red. But the picture is still there.
Some are Bell 204, some 206.
Some Machines we used for lifting purposes,
Besides the Bell 204 which we used
For fuelling Diesel and Propane sites,
We brought the Sikorsky S61 in for the heavy jobs.
The one shown below was lifting a large Diesel Fuel Tank
across the Copper River, where we had a tramway.
We would transfer fuel thru a pipe to this tank,
Then we had an old fuel truck, we transferred the fuel to the 2 tanks
up at the site. Not exactly done to environment standards today.
