I live in the Niagara area and spent a lot of time working along the
Niagara Parkway. I don't recall ever hearing about that operation or seeing
their helicopters around the falls. There is another helicopter tour
operation that has been in business for years, Niagara Helicopter, and I
have no heard anything about it closing. It is also located much closer to
the falls, right at the corner of Victoria St. and the Niagara Parkway,
about 2 km. from the falls.
