The Kennedy Family > A pair of Bell 212's sit in a field next to the grass strip (runway 05-23) at the Dryden airport. C-GERH is Sequoia Helicopters Ltd and C-GSQM is Canadian Helicopters Limited.

The Kennedy Family > Yellowhead Helicopters Ltd (Valemount, British Columbia) waiting for a call from the MNR with a Bell 205A-1 at the Dryden airport.

In the background you can see C-GWDT, a Aerospatiale AS 350 B-2 owned by Day & Johnston Helicopters Ltd. You can also see C-FYZF, an Aerospatiale AS350 B3 from Great Slave Helicopters Ltd.

Interesting to note, the registration of C-FYHD - YHD is the airport code for Dryden.

Well, *I* thought it was interesting.

Photo isn't the best as it was taken with an old Fujifilm Finepix 4900 back in 2003.

I took this photo in 2005 but I didn't post it until 2008. When I zoomed in to read the registration (in 2008), that was when I noticed the Canadian registration was painted right over the still visible German registration. I couldn't read the German registration though.

The amazing thing is (to me anyway), is that when I decided to check out the range of this machine on Wikipedia, I found a photo of this very helicopter in Hamburg link . If you check out the link, read the description for the photo.

(description from the Wikipedia site: Bell 407 helicopter approaching Hamburg / harbour temporary heliport. Owned by a local company. This Bell 407 has been sold to Canada as C-FNAS in 2005 according to information available in the internet.)

(BTW: the range for a Bell 407 is 330 miles / 612 km)

The Kennedy Family > North Central Helicopters.

The Kennedy Family > A Schweizer 300C (although when I looked up the registration it came up as a 269C) sits on the Dryden ramp.

The Kennedy Family > A CH-124 Sea King helicopter. Hard to get a good shot of a gray subject, in the rain, on a gray overcast day. Canon 20D, Canon EF 70-300 IS USM
