Far be it for me to become some sort of referee, but this thread is turning into a pie throwing contest and I am sick of reading it, but it keeps popping up!

Lets remember that people died in the incident we are discussing and I suggest the thread stops until we get some hard facts.....

If this is the way that PPrune is going then I for one will be leaving this forum.....

13snoopy,
Seriously I think you are just looking to fight/argue with folks.

WHY have you posted something stating I posted it when I have not posted that at all?

You say I quoted it but I did not.

Please right the wrong & back away from the mistake.

I do not appreciate you dragging me into any sort of arguement.

Furthermore I do not appreciate you stating I quoted something when I did not.

You didn't post this? The post that starts with "HELOFAN"????????????
I guess there are two HELOFAN posters here. I didn't think it was possible for two people to have the exact same poster ID. WOW!
You are saying the above quote that YOU made (Oh, wait. You didn't post that did you? That was the OTHER "HELOFAN" poster wasn't it?) wasn't from you?
I caught you in your lie and now you're having to wallow in it.
Liar.

Thanks again & if anyone has any more links to some stat info like this please post it.

When are you going to admit that you are a liar for saying that the NTSB had "closed" the investiagtion on the accident described at the top of this thread???????????????????Tell the truth for a change.
Ignoring the lie you told isn't going to make it go away.

When did I post that at all/originally ?
Where ??? Show me !!!!!

Your cut and paste of my quote isnt even relative !!

What are you on mate??

Hey Snoopy, you might want to go through all the posts on this thread again, because I can't find a single one either in which HELOFAN stated that the NTSB investigation was closed. Now mind you, FLYINHY did in post # 20.

13snoopy,
read the whole thread again.

FLYNHY stated that the NTSB had closed teh case & you even responded to him asking the question " who told you the NTSB had closed the case"

I did not mention that in any if my posts at all that I know of or that I can see.

I am not a liar & you have proven yourself to be a squeezer.

Well done mate.

13snoopy gets to buy 1 x jug of beer & 2 glasses for he & I for just getting it wrong

And

enough beer for everyone else for steering this thread into the depths of OMG'dom & making everyone endure it.

It's very easy to fabricate "quotes" - a basic knowledge of VBulletin will do it. For example,

Now you all know that Heliport didn't write that (John Donne did!) but it's easy to slant ones argument by the incorrect use of quotes.

Not accusing anyone of course but, given I was victim to some backstage sniping involving this trick, just thought I'd make you all aware!

Cheers

Cheers Whirls.

I think this is all said and done.

No harm no foul.
I will even buy the first round, to smooth out the edges.

My Apologies

FOR EVERYONE WHO HAS HAD TO ENDEAR THIS AWFUL FORUM TURN OUT.

FOR EVERYONES STATE OF MIND I NEVER THOUGHT THIS WOULD HAVE GONE THIS WAY. I WILL HAVE TO TRY ANOTHER FORUM, BECAUSE OF SOME PEOPLE THAT CAN NOT OPEN THEIR EYES ENOUGH TO HELP PEOPLE IN NEED. ALL I WANTED WAS INFORMATION, ON THIS HELICOPTER AND THEORIES OF WHY AND HOW IT CRASHED, I NEVER ONCE INTENDED FOR IT TO BECOME A YELLING MATCH. I CAN SEE NOW THAT THIS IS THE WRONG PLACE FOR ME. AS SNOOPY HAS POINTED OUT YES I DID JOIN AFTER THE CRASH. AND YES I WAS THE ONE THAT SAID THE NTSB CLOSED THE CASE. IF YOU LOOK BACK TO THE BEGINNING OF THE THREAD. I NEVER ONCE ACUSED ANYONE FOR ANYTHING, ALL I WANTED WAS HELP TO SOLVE THIS CASE. BUT YOU PEOPLE ARE ALL FIXSATATED ON THE BAD AND CAN'T LOOK BEYOND WHAT WAS LOST, A GREAT HUSBAND,DAD, GRANDFATHER, HIS BROTHER-IN LAW,. ALL LOST .............. GONE......... NEVER COMING BACK. THEY WERE THE GREATEST PEOPLE.

I HAVE BEEN CALLED A LIAR, AND PUT DOWN BY SNOOPY, HE ABVIOUSLY HAS NEVER HAD ANY BODY DIE IN A HELICOPTER CRASH. SNOOPY WHAT WOULD YOU DO? HOW WOULD YOU HANDLE IT? WHERE WOULD YOU START? WHO WOULD YOU TRUST? IF THE NTSB CAME TO YOU AND TOLD YOU THE CASE WAS CLOSED AFTER 3 MTHS OF INVESTIGATION , WHAT WOULD YOU DO? WHO WOULD YOU GO TO? ARE YOU A HELICOPTER PILOT, DO YOU KNOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR? TELL ME, DON'T BE A SMART ASS, TELL ME?

I TELL YOU WHAT WE DID , DROVE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO CALIFORNIA TO SEE THE HELICOPTER IN BAGS AND REPIECE EVERYTHING TOGETHER, THEIR WERE NO TAGS, NUMBERS NOTHING, HOW SHOTTING IS THAT, THEN WE HAD THE FAA TAKING PARTS OF THE PIECES WE WANTED TO SEE. WE WERE TOLD THE FAA AND THE NTSB WERE IN AN ARGUEMENT A WEEK BEFORE. THE FAA WILL NOT RETURN OUR CALLS , FAXES, EMAILS. SO WHERE DO YOU GO FROM HERE.

FOR ALL THE DOUBTFUL, UNTRUSTING PEOPLE OUT THERE. I AM TRUE, I AM THE FAMILY OF THE VICTIMS OF THE HELICOPTER CRASH NEAR DESERT CENTRE MAY 1,2006. ALL I WANT IS ANSWERS!

FLYINHI - I hope you get some sensible feedback and information now, I can not actually imagine how you feel or cope with your loss. I hope the official reports eventually come up with some answers that explain what happened but it sounds like you have lost confidence with this happening.

I guess you are looking for the hard facts.

Good Luck

Duncan

It takes a big man to admit his mistakes

Snoopy - Well said.

FLYINHY - I hope God eventually blesses you and your family, and that you feel (emotionally) richer for it. Unfortunately, in life and aviation, we don't always get the answers that we are looking for.
