I was going to remove the word “stunt” but decided against it, as it would alter the news article. In using the word stunt the author was alluding to a specific R 22 accident that occurred in Watsonville, California last year. This helicopter along with another R 22 and an R 44 were used in a demonstration team that on occasion worked with a Stearman bi-plane. They did in fact perform stunts. The name of the team is Show Copters. The pilot involved in the accident was a member of the Show Copters performing group.
