Stop waiting.. the accident happened
Two Iranians in a Gulf Heli 412, first day on the new contract, arrived over the deck and the pop-outs inflated.. aircraft rolled over, burned, no casulaties....
More recent information... when aircraft arrived in 4 foot hover a loud bang was heard behind the pilots..... seat belt buckle falling on the floor????? collective lowered so hard that the rear cross tube broke, when it hit the deck and blades hit the ground.... aircraft rolled and pop-outs deployed....
Anyone on this forum who wants to go to bat for Iranian pilots should go and do a tour with them first, then see how patriotic you are about them... if you want to be green, try saving a whale.....
