VIDEO: crash is at the end.
We killed 28 hogs and 6 coyotes. Sorry for the upload quality. It was filmed in HD. Coolest fucking thing I have ever done. Pilot was a former army pilot and very skilled. My friends were lucky to walk away alive. Here is the hunting action. Fixed with no banner: Just hog hunting chopper action! Just the crash for all the whiners. No banner, paid the $40 .

Really good flying skills. Not much time to react that close to ground.

They can send the vid to http://www.kathrynsreport.com/2021/01/robinson-r44-ii-n322sh-accident.html?m=1
Once they pilot gives the OK, of course. Very lucky. I assume the boom came off with the impact, not self-destructed in flight, because he retained directional control. With my crummy phone sound, damn near sounded like it threw a frigging rod. |

Ok, that is amazingly weird. I know that airport, town and pilot.

That pilot's reaction time gets me hard. Could have been incredibly worse....

Worst auto I've seen since flight school. No wonder he couldn't get a job flying anything other than a Robinson!

Engine failure, autorotation landing, main rotor clipped the tail off on impact?
Other then the tail being clipped off that wasn't a bad deadstick. Everybody walked away. (am not a pilot) |

That looked fun as fuck. I'm jealous as hell. Except for the crash part. You can keep that.
Robinson Heli I assume???? It's always a Robinson. |

I went to basic, WOCS, and flight school in OH58Ds with Jacey.

Not much time to react in a Robbie. Captain did pretty well, all pax survived uninjured, and he kept the aircraft upright. 407 pilot here.

Quoted: R44 and a newish serial number. Ouch. Doubt it was half way to tbo unless they fly the shit out of it. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Robinson? Doubt it was half way to tbo unless they fly the shit out of it. Only a little over 200 hrs on the airframe. FAA (or is it NTSB?) has been out. No obvious cause for the engine failure at this point. |

"Muzzle down. Don't shoot the rotor."
Looks like a gas. Bucket list item for sure. |

That pilot did a damn good job on the low level auto.
58D pilot. No big deal. |
