AdminLB Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 Howdy, Recently I went on "assignment" to Papillon Grand Canyon Helicopters. I am writing several articles for Rotorcraft Professional Magazine and my websites which surround the Helicopter Tour Industry. I thought I would share a little side gallery of a few pictures I took while out there. There is a slide show button on the left side, which seems to be the best way to view the gallery. A few nice pics of their new facility are in there. http://picasaweb.google.com/justhelicopter...ingArticlePics# Quote
heli.pilot Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 Great pictures, thanks for posting. Where is their new facility located? Quote
deerock Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 great pics. A friend of a friend runs that place and said that it has been a lot of work to get things fixed up, but worth it Quote

Vert_ED Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 Great pic Lyn, had to check out the fan company tho. http://www.bigassfans.com/ they are real Maybe it's the geek in me, but I just killed 20 minutes enjoying that website... what the hell is wrong with me? Quote
tattooed Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 Ok, now I want to fly with Papillion. Nice facility!! Quote
AdminLB Posted May 9, 2009 Author Posted May 9, 2009 Great pictures, thanks for posting. Where is their new facility located?Boulder City NV. About 30 minutes south of Vegas. Quote
BOATFIXERGUY Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 That is a really cool looking operation they built. Makes all of those shacks we've all worked in looked pretty awful. I hope the slow-down in Vegas hasn't killed the bottom line for them. Quote
Goldy Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 That is a really cool looking operation they built. Makes all of those shacks we've all worked in looked pretty awful. I hope the slow-down in Vegas hasn't killed the bottom line for them. Wow- talk about Image. Those pix make every pilot and mechanic want to work there...and as a paying visitor, thats where I would want to fly out of! I might go pay for a tour next time I'm in Vegas just to check it out for myself.. Love the built in scales.. Goldy Quote
heligirl03 Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 Thanks for the pics, Lyn. Their new facility is absolutely beautiful. Having dealt with the tourist weight "fudge factor" (15-20lbs/person really adds up!) for both dogsled and helicopter tours, I LOVE THE BUILT IN SCALES!! Airlines need to step it up and get in on that action. Way to go Papillon for industry innovation...I like it! Quote
ChprPlt Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 Very good pics. Hope to work there someday soon Quote
AngelFire_91 Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Absolutly beautiful, And those scales are the best idea I've seen in a long time. Quote
flygirl Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 Pics are lovely. Any chance you will post the articles? I would love to read them. Quote
