From @gregwayphotography "We just changed the blades and it was during our first run after getting the work done. Just before flying to do some testing and adjusting everything for the helicopter to run smooth."

For a breathtaking view of the Three Sisters Peaks, let us take you by helicopter! 🚁 Did you know that this iconic trio of mountains was initially named The Three Nuns? Albert Rogers coined the name in 1883 after a storm left a heavy veil of snow on the northern face of all three peaks. They were renamed the Three Sisters in 1886 by George Dawson. In the traditional language of the Îyârhe Nakoda the peaks are also referred to as the three sisters. However, the name refers to a story of Ĩ-ktomnĩ, the old man or trickster, who would promise 'three sisters' in marriage whenever he was in trouble. • • #alpinehelicopters #rockymountains #banffnationalpark #banffhelitours #canmorehelitours #helilife #heliadventures #helitour #travelalberta #tourismcanmore #tourismbanff #explorecanmore #explorecanada #explorebanff #threesisters #kananaskis @tourismbanff @travelalberta @canmorekananaskis @banff_lakelouise @explorebanff @visit.banff

We've done over 60 hours' worth of rescues so far this year. Thank you as always to everyone who is part of these search and rescue efforts. In Canada, search and rescue (SAR) is a shared responsibility. The list of partners is made up of government, military, volunteer and industry groups, who all work together to provide SAR services across the nation.

Paul Cornu, a French bicycle maker, is credited with inventing the helicopter in 1907. His invention is the first helicopter as we know it today, and it managed to lift off the ground about 1 foot, for about 20 seconds. We've come a long way since then - today's designs certainly look a lot different! 🚁 • • #alpinehelicopters #rockymountains #banffnationalpark #banffhelitours #canmorehelitours #helilife #heliadventures #helitour #travelalberta #tourismcanmore #tourismbanff #explorecanmore #explorecanada #explorebanff #threesisters #kananaskis @tourismbanff @travelalberta @canmorekananaskis @banff_lakelouise @explorebanff @visit.banff

Here's some mountain trivia for you! 🧠⛰️ Check out the music video for Pink Floyd's 1987 hit 'Learning to Fly' and you'll see some familiar mountains in the background. The video was filmed on West Wind Ridge near Canmore, featuring Canadian actor Lawrence Bayne. Also features some great aerial shots... the kind of view only possible by helicopter! 🚁👀 • • #alpinehelicopters #rockymountains #banffnationalpark #banffhelitours #canmorehelitours #helilife #heliadventures #helitour #travelalberta #tourismcanmore #tourismbanff #explorecanmore #explorecanada #explorebanff #threesisters #kananaskis @tourismbanff @travelalberta @canmorekananaskis @banff_lakelouise @explorebanff @visit.banff
