In Germany Dortmund a R22 collided with an EC120. The R22 flow under the EC120, which lost his landing skids. The R22 crashed, pilot in hospital but seems ok. EC120 landed on his belly, pilot ok. No further news yet...
Collision took place at the airfield "Stadtlohn-Wenningsfeld" close to the Dutch boarder. At @ 20.15 the two aircraft (EC 120 N263CP and an R22 PH-JGR) collided close to the ground. Apparently one was about to take off, the other one was about to land.
Two with minor injuries.
The R22 flew under the EC120, which lost his landing skids.
Its mating season? Spring is coming.... ;)
EC 120 + R22 = R66 ?????

Was the Ec120 still flying? IE made a gentle touchdown on its belly and presmably fell over, a controlled crash?
