Left: NYA used to offer scheduled helicopter services from atop the Pan Am Building in Midtown Manhattan to airports in the area. Founded in 1949, an accident in 1977 on top of the Pan Am building precipitated the closure of this heliport and the airline stopped operating two years later. Sikorsky S-61, N620PA, was registered in 1968 and is seen here at JFK. It later flew in Canada with Okanagan as C-GJDR and then as N614RM before reverting to its earlier Canadian identity with Coulson Aircrane and Sunwest Helicopters in a rebuilt, modified form. The aircraft continues to fly to this day, serving with Helicarriers.
