First on scene of accident

Hi there,

Just to clear things up.....I was at the accident..........two people involved.....both got their HPL's so no training was involved.

Pilot said that a gust of wind cought them.....blew them backwards.....skid possibly dug into ground......boom hit ground.....blades chopped through boom.......etc. Both people okay.

A lot of R22's crash cos there are a lot of them in the air.....not due to mechanical failure or any fault of the machine.
