24.01.2022 Friday Chip 'N Dip Photo 3RH mustering this week with our machine 'Blacky'. We didn't mind being the black sheep of this flock!

18.01.2022 Friday Chip ’N Dip Photo! This week we have the one and only Chook Wren. I hope you have as much fun reading this as we had interviewing him. We just had to make a few amendments to his choice of words so it would be able to be read by all ages . Chook really did not know how to answer the last question so maybe you can come up with an idea! We would love to hear about it in the comments.... What made you want to be a helicopter pilot? Because it was either that or be a head stockman and I wasn’t good enough to be head stockman. I like to chase cows and go fast. When did you get your pilot’s license? I have been a pilot since mid 2013. How long have you been with 3 Rivers Helicopters? Since 14 March 2015. What do you love about flying? The freedom. What do you enjoy about working for 3RH? I enjoy the social life. What is the best characteristic of James? He is very casual. Your best and worse moment flying? Worst: When I crashed. Best: That I survived it. What is something you say all the time? Roger! What do you do on your day off? I do enjoy a game of golf! Nickname? Chook’n. Favourite holiday location? I have to say Tambo. If you could what type of animal would you be? Big rooster. If you could have lunch with anyone in the world, who would that be? Carl Barron. Things you are best at Making friends fast, making enemies faster. If you could be a Disney Princess, which one would you be? I really don’t know.

And family means that if the kids need a rocketship, the crew helps to build a rocketship! #3rivershelicopter #3RH #homestead #farmlife #family #Australia #Queensland #outback #helicopterbusiness #pilotlife #farmlifebestlife #helicopterservice #outbackaustralia #r22 #r44 #rocketship #crafts #familytime #mustering #cattle

04.01.2022 This week the Helismart crew came out to service our machines. Thanks for the great work! There was another job they needed to go to, and the R44 was an excellent way to travel. Because the ferry in the R44 is so smooth, it will rock you to sleep! #3RH #3rivershelicopters #australia #queensland #outback #pilots #helicopters #R44 #helicopterservice #intheair #robinsonhelicopters #justrelax #takeiteasy #outbackqueensland #pilotlife #helicopterbusiness #aviation #heretohelp #countrylife #farmlife #adventure
