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. |

He was a wonderful guy, a great friend, and will be missed by many. Both men were very experienced pilots... must've been some kind of catastrophic failure. Just an awful tragedy. |
