not b205

Sorry to say that Helieuropa Service has a bad reputation in the helicopter bussines and also have to say that the helicopter was a military surplus from the Spanish Airforce formerly used as trainer in the helicopter school mostly for IFR.
The owner sadly holds a record on accidents in different companies through the years. Actually at least 4 pilots died flying helicopters owned by the same guy.
There is a big concern in the whole Spanish helicopter industry for this type of accidents make the general opinion to fear helicopters flights really hurting the rest of the companies.
First line of investigation is to really know if the`people on board was real "crew" for the helicopter was "restricted".
