Hi,
the pilot of the crashed EC 120 is 79 years old. The helicopter was his own private machine and he was flying it for years.
Several times I saw his demonstrations at this event, which takes place every second year (I live in the city next to the airfield).

by the way, I'm René. It's my first post here at pprune and I only use to read in this forum (but for years). Hello @ all!
