Stan Stevens (Mackenzie Mountain outfitters) owns C-GSFJ and has for several years. He operates it on floats out of Norman Wells NT. There should be photos of it on there web site. I flew it for them in the mid nineties. It is a great plane ,he had it repainted not to many years ago.

OK, I think I understand it C-FIYZ c/n 045, (which was recently sold), and C-GSFJ c/n 584 have very similar paint schemes and both were owned by the original Mackenzie Mountains Outfitter (Stan Stevens) at one time.
But C-GSFJ is now owned by Carcajou Air Ltd
Is one of the of the AMMO leasing it now?
C-FLYZ c/n 510 has not been repaired as it had major damage when the helicopter dropped it when it was slinging it out of the Mackenzie Mountains for Stan Stevens. Stan still owns the aircraft.
C-GRUU c/n 2509
what is its current status?

Hi Doug,
Your right on the paint schemes Stan painted all his Helios the same as C-FIYZ ,it was his first of many Helios. Carcajou Air Ltd. is Stan's flying service that he operates under. There is no other outfitters operating in Canada with Helios. I've sold IYZ and hope to find a 295 or 395 for my outfit Blackstone Outfitters in the Yukon. I will see if Stan can give more history/ photos on his airplanes over the Years. I really enjoy going through your posts that your doing. It's very interesting for someone who enjoys the Helios. Thanks Jim

I certainly understand why a outfitter would use a Helio but in Canada a helicopter would be much more useful. We cannot use them here in alaska for much of anything. I guess a Helio is the next best tool for the job. I know if I could use a helicopter my planes would be gone

Stan started using a helicopter about 5 years ago. He is a huge Helio fan I'm sure he will always have them in his outfit as well.
In the Yukon we are like you in Alaska we can't use helicopters for anything to do with hunting. The NWT is the only place in Canada that a helicopter can be used for hunting.

Steve Williams pointed out this photo of 63-8091 (c/n 584) taken 06/72. I thought it might be 63-13091 (c/n 596) because of camo paint scheme
but after some back and forth realized because of photo date it had to be 63-8091 because 63-13091 was destroyed 3/66 (4th of 12 Helios lost in S/Vietnam).
