The insurance company is probably who will end up with it, but you need to
be very careful about the parts. Using dynamic parts after a crash is
mostly a no-no, and the insurance company is going to be very careful about
their liability in that area. There aren't many parts that can be reused
without an inspection from an authorized repair facility, if then.


So how can I find out the name of the insurance company? Does the
NTSB keep those records?

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.

As such, I think there are a bunch of parts that are usable. I just
don't know how to buy the wreckage.
