$35 Million or so looking like a mess

Helicopter crashes at Jefferson City airport : News : ConnectMidMissouri.com




Last week.

Fortunately, nobody dead, but it appears that a new Seahawk lost tail rotor drive on take off from Jefferson City, Missouri, on its way from New York to California. The fellow (apparently an aviation enthusiaist/spotter) who was filming the aircraft taking off was unfortunately distracted by watching the unexpected landing, so the moment of impact is missing. His camera began to point all over the place.

I am guessing ferry flight, delivery, since the article says it had about 20 hours on the airframe.



Further guess: just refueled, so heavy on a warm day.
