The series consists of textual records, photographs, and film reels documenting Okanagan Helicopters' out-of-province operations, including those across Canada, the United States, South America, the Middle East, Australia, and Asia.

The series consists of photographs of the 1955 contract for the Geological Survey of Canada, which surveyed the Arctic Islands, the Franklin District, and the Northwest Territories, and was Okanagan’s first non-BC based operation. Several film reels also document the Franklin operation. International operations commenced shortly thereafter in 1958 and quickly expanded. Photographs and textual records also detail the 1965 operation to fly a Sikorsky S61 from Connecticut to London’s Gatwick airport.

Due to the creation of historical files, there is some degree of overlap with the records of MS-3185. The historical files offer a narrative view of many operations, and in some cases also include records that were removed for inclusion in the historical files. Many agreements from international operations were maintained in ‘vault files’ that have been arranged in series MS-3183.

The records have been arranged chronologically by operation.
