Had a Huey crash 15 miles away a few days ago that was retrofitted as a crop duster. Saw it on the back of a small 2 axle trailer being towed by a pickup limping back to its origin airport. Tail section was busted but front was intact. Rotors were destroyed. Said mechanical failure was the cause that caused it to come down hard. Pilot was just a little injured but not that bad.

Sad to say they lost their 2nd huey to a crash in a month, this time fatal. Probably not looking good for their company right now.

N900VF was the first one down and the 2nd was N567VF

I am not responsible if your computer is at fault. A 15 second search would find that story all over, but I guess using a search engine is too hard for some people
