I’ve been in 3 helicopter crashes. Granted all where in various platforms based off the CH-47 Chinook. This crashed Eurocopter H135 looks very similar to our (USA’s) Eurocopter UH-72 Lakota. I’ve heard good things about this aircraft, it has gained a lot of traction as a search and rescue bird in various US LEO agencies and the National Guard. With that said, I’m not a pilot, just a former knuckle dragger.
3!! Wow!!
Luckily the pilots who supported us are of the finest in the world, otherwise I wouldn’t be here. Only one was in a scary part of the world in daunting terrain. The other 2 were training related.
My late father would board a plane without doors or windows (and he actually did) before he would even consider flying in a chopper .. He always said “FF .. they just don’t look right” ..
