Briefings, checks, cross checks, gear secured or? Done hundreds of film/photo shoots & never lost a thing out the cockpit (no doors)
well maybe some spit, sweat, snot & vomit
Cockpit has gotta be prepped & managed right....plain & simple. This crash was not an Aerial-work shoot. it was a play on marketing versus rules & they lost...Lives lost, machine lost, AOC (probably) lost, credibility lost...etc
Very sad outcome for the hapless victims & their surviving Families
