Helicopter crash video
About a year or so ago, someone posted here a video of a helicopter crash.
The story behind it was that the helicopter was bought by someone who didn't have any helicopter experience. The new owner was attempting to fly it home and then get instruction. The helicopter just flew in circles a bit and then crashed. The clip was all of 30 seconds or so. The good news was that the occupant walked away from the crash. Does anyone have this video or know where I can download it? I've tried google searches on "helicopter" and "helicopter crash" but I get way too many hits to sort through. TIA. |

That was more like a solo student than a dual student! -- Larry Fransson Seattle, WA |

Amazing, isn't it, that a guy can afford to buy such a "toy" and be stupid enough to have that toy for a total of five minutes. |

Two good things with the crash 1) Nobody hurt 2) Didn't hit anybody ELSE'S aircraft---he could have beat the crap out of a LOT of fixed wing aircraft at that airport, and thankfully he only destroyed his new aircraft.. What an idiot! |
