East Asia Airlines Bell 222



Also, an interesting story here.

Pilot, Antonio Jose Oliveria Ladeiras, was suspended by the authority after landing his East Asia Airlines Bell 222 helicopter on an overgrown soccer pitch in Zhongshan.

'Because of low visibility ahead, the pilot decided to turn west to look for an area with better visibility. 'But because the situation had not improved, he turned to fly along the coastline in the hope of finding Macau. However, thick fog did not allow the pilot to proceed further and he decided to land on a suitable location next to a highway in China in the interests of the safety of the passengers and the aircraft.' It said the pilot had taken the appropriate action in the circumstances.
