I grew up fishing/camping in the backcountry of Idaho. Around the Ketchum/Sun Valley area. Were flown in a Bell Jet Ranger my grandfather owned... just thought it was normal. One day we were at a pristine lake and over the ridge came another BJR it was jet black w/ black tinted windows. It was JR Simplot, some of you may recognize the name if not a quick search will bring up info. Anyway they landed... my grandfather and him chated and fished... they said adios and took off. I was always envious of that chopper... ours was white with the yellow, orange and red stripe...

Flight is my passion... well... good luck with your search I know quite a few pilots... tough gig...awsome hobby though...
