Guest avi8tr Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 There's not much info on this crash at all. Said it happened to a helicopter that left this morning and that was about it. From memory they have a dozen R22's online up there plus a few others, so it could be anyone of those or a private one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
