Not to diminish the voice of the widow, but was not the same things said about the S-61 in the early 70's??

I lost my godfather to the one crash in Norway in 76 (Might have been 77) that Killed all aboard. That was the 3rd accident of its kind too, loss of one blade. The 61 is now renowned for its safety...

SK never wanted this to happen, and they are working on it, and hopefully they will find a solution (I.e. dry run), but it has to be said, that systems knowledge might have helped.

Regards
Hagar.
