Foto of Rotorblade - damage
 
To whom it may concern,

I´m looking for a photo of a damaged rotorblade. I saw it years ago during my time at the helicopter basic training.

It shows a hole in a Huey or Cobra blade during the Vietnam war. The blade was hit by a granate near the rotorhead. It was so big, that one guy sticks his head trough.

It would be nice to get an answer from you, if you know something about.

Yours Peter Reinisch

There is a similar photograph of a Norwegian Helikopter Service Super Puma hit by lightning.
Nice picture of the chief engineer at Bergen with his head through the hole.

Probably about 1995.
