On 10 December a Hiller Raven crashed in Tynan, Texas. (http://www.kiiitv.com/news/local/helicopter-crashes-near-tynan-one-person-transported-to-hospital/367680841) I wasn't sure that it was from the picture, but I did find a reference to this crash at ASN (https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/wiki.php?id=191958) which identified the helicopter as an OH-23B. BEE COUNTY - The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating what caused a helicopter to crash, according to Department of Public Safety officials. The incident happened Saturday morning in Bee County. The pilot was taken via Halo flight to a hospital. Officials say the man was flying a private helicopter when it crashed in Tynan, near FM 796 and CR 528 at 11:30 am Saturday.
The male pilot flying the helicopter is expected to survive. http://www.kiiitv.com/img/resize/content.kiiitv.com/photo/2016/12/10/heli%20crash%20web_1481395161017_7319673_ver1.0.jpg?preset=5 34-401

Glad to hear the pilot is still with us. I had not thought about this type for many years, have not seen one pop up anywhere for a long time. Must mean not too many still flying.
