It's a dangerous business. The local sheriff dept has lost 3 helicopters too:
Angel-1 crashed in 1977 while returning to the airport after searching for a lost child, killing Sgt. Wilkinson.
Angel-2 crashed in October of 1980, killing both deputy sheriff’s aboard, Brent Jameson and Bliss Magley, as they were returning to the airport following a late night call-out for an officer involved shooting.
In 1981 the county purchased a new MD 500D dubbed “Henry-1”, the name still used today. This helicopter was troubled with numerous mechanical problems including five emergency landings due to engine failure. The final emergency landing in the summer of 1982 left the helicopter severely damaged on tidal rocks North of Jenner.
