Delivered to New York Airways in 1963, this Vertol was bought by Columbia in 1972. Pictured working for forest company Whonnock Industries (later International Forest Products / Interfor) with the Whonnock "W" on the tail. The two companies would set up Helifor to log in Canada. The helicopter tragically crashed October 14, 1982 during a log slinging operation in Idaho. A synchronization shaft failed and the two rotors came into contact.
