The crew names have been released. Sad day for all.
Everyone,
It is with tremendous sadness that we now confirm our crew as being among the fatalities from yesterday’s tragic accident.
The crew were Captain Joseph “Jay” Wyatt, age 37, of Oklahoma, and First Officer Peter Bello, age 26, of Nigeria.
Captain Wyatt joined Bristow in 2006 and has spent his entire career flying with Bristow Helicopters out of Africa. First Officer Peter Bello joined Bristow in 2014 after graduating from Bristow Academy’s helicopter flight school. Both were highly respected members of the Bristow family. Their families have been informed and are receiving our fullest support.
We all remain shaken and deeply saddened by this tragic event and our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of all of those on board.
I am so sorry to be the bearer of this news. We will continue to keep you informed as news becomes available.
Kind regards,
Duncan Moore
Regional Director, Africa & Middle East
Bristow Group Inc.
Confidence in flight. Worldwide
