By early afternoon, a helicopter crashed Robinson Pass Ox, between Salazie and circus Mafate. Two passengers were aboard. The manager of the company "Mafate Helicopter" has died. The help is always there.

The tragedy took place around 13:30 at the Col Ox. Robinson Helicopter Company "Mafate helicopter" would have encountered a "problem of lift" before crashing.
According to preliminary information gathered, Andrew Begue - the manager of the company "Mafate Helicopter" - was on board the craft with another passenger. The pilot André Begue died but for now, the record of this crash has not been sent.
This morning, another helicopter Bi-up - like Robinson - crashed in the town of buffer, specifically Great Basin in the Plaine des Cafres.
The crash reportedly occurred around 10:00, shortly after takeoff out of the helicopter landing area of the Great Basin. Two individuals were on board but no casualties to lament about the crash that occurred this morning.

RIP André...
Here in the Alps, we all think of your family and friends there..

This guy was a hard worker, completely selfmade and successful in this weird industry. He managed to set up his own company and was a very talented pilot, flying mostly long line ops. We'll deeply miss you Dédé...
