Default Now you know the rest of the story............

I saw this on rec.av.rotorcraft.
The guy was looking for info on how to buy helicopter wreckage
for spare parts............

lifted from RAR...............

I don't think that the crash was all that bad. It occurred at about
100 feet when a glider tow pilot crashed into the back of it during an
autorotation. Both people in the R22 crawled out of the wreckage with
only minor bruises. The kid in the glider that the tow pilot was
pulling managed to land safely. He was the only one that didn't wreck
his plane. The tow pilot suffered severe injuries and was taken to a
local hospital in another helicopter.

Maybe? If 10 people saw it you'll have 10 versions of the events. See and
be seen.
