Viking Helicopters Ltd; Photos request.
Apologies for making a request on my first post, but I reckon this is the best place to go for what it is I am looking for. I am trying to find photos of the many Hughes 500 helicopters operated by many helicopter companies in Canada in the 1970's and 1980's. I came across a small set of photos on Flickr featuring a Hughes 500 belonging to Viking Helicopters Ltd.

I also found this little site which features photos of other Hughes 500 helicopters from the Viking fleet:

I have found commercial helicopter operations in Canada a very interesting topic, especially after reading "10,000 Hours" by Peter Corley-Smith. I am particularly interested in the colours and markings of all the Viking 500 fleet and other Hughes 500 operators like Vancouver Island Helicopters, Yukon Airways Ltd, Olympic Helicopters, Northern Wings and Helitac Ltd. If anyone can post photos of these helicopters or provide a link to where photos can be found, I would very much appreciate it. Thanks.

VIH doesn't fly 500's anymore. I'll see if I can find some pics of when they used to have them.

Not a Viking machine, but here is a link to a few photos of a Hughes 500C from a company called Liftair;
