Ok 2 things. #1, why is it asking for a pass word when I try to download the video????
#2 Rotor strikes are more common than you might think. They usualy result in little or no damage. While during my time as a flight medic in california we never hit a tree or anything we did take out several birds in flight. The aproach to the local field takes you right over the county dump that is loaded with seagulls. Never knew till we landed and were washing the helo down and found blood and feathers on the rotor. One time we had to pull up on short final to a remote lake in the sierra nevada mts because a bunch of mule deer spooked out of the brush and ran right under us, hate to think what would have happened if they would have ran into the tail rotor.
