For the Robbie haters: Two for the price of one

Hey LVDT et al


Two helicopter accidents in south-east Queensland - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Two more Robbie crashes today in Queensland.

No evidence of blade issues. I am indifferent to Robbie control/engine issues. My only interest is in my area of expertise which is adhesive bond failure forensics as they relate to blade failures, so I'll bow out of the discussion and let others slag off or defend at will.

(He stands back and waits to see the usual suspects jump in.)

Regards

Happy to be corrected

Thanks P1, other channels reported that they were Robbies, along with the usual banter about how they flew the stricken aircraft away from .... the crowd on the beach. Is that a new circumstance at variance from the school/kindergarten/shopping centre/Koala habitat etc. etc?

No matter one Robbie is enough to start a flame war!

Ohhh, so that makes 2 (TWO) Enstroms in one week. Just to make that discussion a little bit more interesting.

is that 2 Enstroms?

2 would be a high proportion of the fleet.
