RotorWeed Posted January 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Try Premier at Jeffco(?). Still waiting to hear back from them. Looks like slim pickings for helo flight schools in the Denver area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helo-Pilot Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 I was in Denver a few weeks ago and stopped in to visit with them. They said that their insurance coverage had lapsed but were expected the problem to be resolved within a week or two (that was at Christmas). Keep trying, they had a hanger full of 44's. They even had a Clipper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Located at Rocky mountain metro (Jeffco) in broomfield, they offer training and tours in the R44. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOATFIXERGUY Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 I was in Denver a few weeks ago and stopped in to visit with them.

They even had a Clipper. Premier Helicopters is the only outfit using the R44 in Denver area. They have three R44's in the JeffCo hangar, two more in Colo Springs. We used to sub lease their R44's to help us on our ride and tour contracts. Call Kenton Masters on his cell 303-668-7621. He's a friend of mine, and unless he's flying, will return your call. The owner is difficult to get a hold of (Mike Kelly). For Enstrom time, call Jack Ferguson at Rocky Mountain Rotorcraft 303-884-8909.

RotorWeed Posted January 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 (edited) Thanks for the response I will try again to get into contact with them. I did some flying out of Jeffco a couple years ago in the 300c (it was a little short on power up there). Can anyone tell me how the R44 is at that alt. with three people and fuel?
