Miami TV news helicopter crashes by [email protected]
The reason we that he tried to do a loop on the helipad had asked the other helicopter near by to take a video. That's the real reason, he made a mistake, tail boom strike or the helicopter broke. But the truth is he tried to perform a stunt.

Range of air sea rescue / medevac helicopters by NY
What is normally the maximum range of a medevac helicopter? I ask because I'm on a cruise liner that was about 600 miles off the west coast of Portugal last night when a passenger had to be evacuated because of a medical emergency.

Come back to News group by Jonathan St. Cloud
Back in the 1990's this was a very newsgroup. But then we started to get hateful posts. It is easy to report posts that have nothing to do with Helicopters. Let's get good discussions again. Fly safe.
