COMPANY PROFILE |
| HISTORY |
Wildcat
Helicopters Inc. was incorporated in November of 1998. Wildcat commenced
its operations by taking on the task of a major overhaul of a used Bell 212
helicopter. The overhauled Bell 212 was operational by mid May 1999
and Wildcat began operations in the helicopter charter business with a
small Heli-Logging job.
The company's offices were located in the home of one of the Principle's, and the helicopter was housed in a rented hangar facility at the Penticton airport. Within the first year of operations Wildcat flew nearly 700 hours focusing on three industries: Forest firefighting, Oil and Gas exploration and Heli-Logging. By the summer of 2000 Wildcat was operating two Bell 212's and one Bell 206 Longranger. December of 2000 Wildcat moved operations to a hangar facility located on Kelowna's Westside where the offices, the helicopters and the maintenance facility could be located at the same address.
