Aero Service, 1956

This is a picture that appeared in Aviation Week in 1956. It is a helicopter I flew while doing geophysical surveys. We tested it in Philadelphia and then flew it to Canada to a place called Shabogamo, Canada. I am not too sure of the spelling. It was about 200 miles north of Montreal. It was a small mining town, policed by a Red Coated Mountie, complete with a wooden sidewalk. We lived in an old wooden hotel that had a tavern on the first floor, where every evening the miners gathered got blotto and sang "Mon baby que travia". I am not sure of the spelling, but I can still hear it. Mom, JoAnn and Joey were back in Phiadelphia. I quit when they were making plans to send me to South Africa.
