I am compiling information on wire strikes for both airplanes and
helicopters. I would appreciate any help you may give. Stories, news
clips, videos,pics, etc. I much prefer actual stories and not hangar
rumor (got plenty of that already). I have some info from NTSB but feel
there is a lot of info out there with some help in directions to access
it.
In my 50+ years of flying, I've hit at least 18 wires and logged them
in aerial application operations with no resulting crashes. It includes
one wire strike at night in helicopter. Any help or suggestions to
gather more info are most welcome.
