I can only hope that as interest wanes in this accident, the quality of discussion improves.
Did this ship even have van Horn components?
This video purports to be from the same helicopter recently to the crash and the blade tip profile matches VH blades.
Also looks like grip plates (only on VH blades) are visible in the pre-takeoff picture of the group.
