Surprising how often these types of medivac accidents happen. Condolences to all involved. RENO, Nevada -- A medical helicopter airlifting a baby to a Reno hospital crashed in a remote area of northern Nevada, killing all five people aboard, authorities said. The Access Air helicopter...

Well folks..... I'm a little surprised. It's not everyday that a country orders 3.2 billion dollars worth of a helicopter that theoretically is still on the drawing boards. I would have thought that one of my fellow Canadians would have thrown the subject out in this newsgroup.... but apparently...

That's one of the things I've "always" hated about preflight inspections. No matter how thorough I thought I was, I always felt there was something I'd missed. It's a learning process, Kevin, there will be things that slip by you. For now, that's what the instructor is for. Later, whether...

Well folks, it's Friday nite and I'm kicking back with a beer watching those magnificant men and their flying machines. Havn't seen that one in years. Now I now it has absolutely nothing to do with helicopters ( I'm so ashamed ), and I'm sure that Dennis the weasel will netcop me but there is...

There is a guy here in Vegas who has the best program in the country for anyone who wants to become a commercial helicopter pilot. I'm not sure about all the details but you can get a commercial and instructor's certificate here with 100% financing at a something like 5% interest rate. You go to...

I've been hearing very contradicting statements about helicopeter jobs. Some sources say that there just aren't any and the ones that are there are very low. Say 20-30k a year. However, other sources claim that pilots are becoming scarce, and that new pilots aren't coming along quick enough to...

FWIW, I received a BSEE in electrical engineering in 1984, and have been working in the high tech industry since then. That has allowed me to Learn How To Fly - starting in 1999. As a result, I have about 130 hours in helicopters and around 240 hours in fixed-wing aircraft, with an instrument...

Do you have an interesting adventure story involving a helicopter that you would like to share with the group.

One easy way is to find out the temp at the field you are at. Take the standard sea level temp of 15C and using the altitude of where you are at, subtract 2C for every thousand feet. For every 1 degree above standard, add 120 feet, or 600 feet for every 5C. Add that to the field altitude. Gives you...

Hi, Dear All, I have alwaying been thinking to make a light, tiny, paper(or some other light material) butterfly, that could fly with flapping his wings by some mechanical power engine(like clockwork spring or elasic, or else). While I was a child, I liked playing paper-plane very much. I...

You shouldn't send binary files to a newsgroup that isn't chartered for such. Or mime types for that matter. Contact the emergency authorities that responded to the incident, ie-fire dept, etc., and tell them you have a video. The FAA will be in touch with them and they can tell the FAA. If you...
