This Coulson Aircrane Sikorsky S-61N, C-FMAY was photographed from Bell JetRanger C-GXOH while logging red cedar at Torquart Bay on the west coast of Vancouver Island in February 2014. It previously flew with Court Helicopters in South Africa as ZS-HGU before joining the Coulson fleet in Feb. 1989 for heli-logging use. Over the past 33 year the aircraft has operated in Canada, the United States and Australia on firefighting contracts when not logging and was leased to Canadian Helicopters between Nov. 2010 - Jan. 2013. It went to Coulson Aviation (USA) in June 2017 as N161CG.

This S-61 was manufactured in 1968, probably as an SH-3 Sea King. It was civilianised in Sept 1992 and registered in the USA as N306V. In 1994 it went to South Africa as ZS-HGU, before returning to the US Register. It has subsequently alternated between US and Canadian registry. It was contracted for bushfire-fighting in Victoria, Australia, during the summer of 2008/9 and was based at Warrnambool. It was photographed here at the Australian International Airshow where it made a one-day appearance.

This airport was just a short distance from Sproat Lake and the famous Mars water bombers
