Working in Antarctica

Hey, I read an article a while ago about an "Enterprise Airways" based out of Oshawa, but flying BT67s in the arctic and Antarctica. I havn't been able to find anything about them in subsequent google searches though.

Does anyone know what happened to them? Or if there are any other companies that are flying in Antarctica? It's something I've wanted to do for a while, so any help would be appreciated.

If you haven't heard of Kenn Borek Air you've got a long way to go!!

Lots of info on these forums about them.

Enterprise Air Inc is owned and operated by Brian Burchartz. I think they may have had a name change recently. Head office was 1190 Keith Ross Court, Oshawa. 905 721 0054

Enterprise also goes by the name Triumph Airways. I hear the pilots are poorly paid on the BT-67 and are given very little time off, the pilots I've meet have been fairly disgruntled. Their Antarctic work is for ALCI (Antarctic Logistics Center International) out of South Africa. Sounds like fun work in the Antarctic flying people and equipment around the Russian sector on the Antarctic. Just make sure you get any offers from them in writing.

I would love to fly a BT-67, but I fear the loading etc. would probably finish me off. I used to love the Racer but with turbines, most of the hassle would be removed, not to mention much better single-engine performance. It might even have single point refuelling? Beats standing on the wing of a Dash 7 with a hose...

Anyone got one I can borrow for the weekend?
