Default Piasecki crash

Just got word of a Piasecki crash that involved Joe Pike and to other people
who were on board. Joe had re-stored the twin rotor ship. Initial data
seems to indicate an engine failure with the ship hitting power lines and
burning. Joe was an outstanding wrench and pilot. Joe did a BFR for me and
I learned from him. He also was involved in the restoration of numerous
helicopters. This a big loss to the helicopter world.
