Because of these conditions ,3 necessary to hire a much larger levee force than thought necessary, was then that someone thought of the possibility of using a helicopter, The reason for this was that the levee pipe manipulation was the whole problem. The Rick Helicopter Service of South San Francisco was notified and after several experiments, their services were retained. The shore pipe was cut into 16-ft. sections and a large helicopter (a Vertal V-42) then moved the pipe to the desired locations. As a result, Utah was able to cut down substantially on their levee force. It is believed that this was the first time a helicopter was ever used in connection with a dredging project.
