I just found a 2007 article on the Coulson Group and their helicopter business which may be worth running through..
Based in British Columbia, Coulson owns and operates one of the worldβs largest civilian S-61 fleets.
The company began its S-61 operations in 1986

"Currently, one of Coulsonβs fleet operates with Canadian helicopter carrier Helijet as North Americaβs only scheduled S-61 passenger service, carrying customers several times daily between downtown Vancouver and Victoria."..

"Another is serving the petroleum industry, shuttling oil field workers to Caspian Sea platforms off Azerbaijanβs coast. A third is helping fight brushfires Down Under in Melbourne, Australia, as a water bomber and for fire crew transport."..

"Two others are working in repetitive heavy-lift operations, one under contract for the U.S. Navy recovering test missiles off the coast of Hawaii and the other locally in logging operations."..
"The stable has been assembled from a variety of sources. Most served with now-defunct regional helicopter operators such as NY Airways, LA Airways. One was used by Donald Trumpβs Trump Air to shuttle high rollers from Manhattan to Atlantic City, casinos."

"Making its debut in 1959 as the U.S. Navyβs Sea King, the heavy-lift helicopter was used for anti-submarine warfare and even recovering astronauts from their floating space capsules."..

"Licensed by Westland in the UK, Agusta in Italy and Mitsubishi in Japan, 140 of the Sikorsky-built large helicopters are still in operation."..

"While Coulson Groupβs S-61s are known for their heavy-lift capabilitiesβduring the 1990s the company averaged 2,500 hours flying time a year on each helicopterβthe future could see them refurbished for VIP passenger service."..
"Coulson has started by ferrying vacationers to a group of fishing lodges on British Columbiaβs Queen Charlotte Islands. Where he goes from there is anybodyβs guess."..
"βWe think there are hotel and casino people .. in places like Hong Kong and Macau, who are just starting to open up the gaming world down there.β So far they have been using S-76s to transport visitors, but the S-61 could serve this role more cost-effectively, Coulson said."
"Another possibility would be using S-61s during Vancouverβs 2010 Winter Olympic Games, where the helicopters could transport dignitaries, Olympic officials and visitors."

Coulson said he expects the first of his companyβs VIP S-61s to be completed by the fall. He plans to show it off at next yearβs Heli-Expo in Houston.

"Operation Underground Railroad failed to mention in the July 23rd broadcast and news reports that some of the children victims were held in detentionΒ for longer than any of the traffickers, all (9 or 12) of whom were released without prosecution."..
"They deceptively made it seems as if this was a new bust, not the one from February 5th where there was no justice for the girls ... Here's the sensational retelling that ignores, all the traffickers were released before this show was aired in Australia"
