Another Sokol of the same company crashed today. Luckily both pilots survived with minor injuries.
What a terrible year for Spain already and the fire fighting season is only about to start.

Helicopter is from Poland, Heliseco, must be dry or wet lease.....
Heliseco is (was) PZL Swidnik own operator if I remember right 30% owned by PZL
Heliseco was bought by HASA (Hispánica de aviación) the past year.
