A sad day for all in the helicopter community, wherever we are.

Keeping the family, colleagues, friends and all involved in my thoughts today.

Thank you for starting this thread as my original tribute was moderated out of the crash thread.

Having flown Police 51 in the past my thoughts & sincere condolences go out to everyone who has been affected in any way by this tragic accident.

And to those we have just lost - Rest in Peace.

A sad day, especially as the casualties are now confirmed. It put a dampener on the shift last night and tonight's won't be much better.

RIP to all who lost their lives, my thoughts are with all their families.

[Hubstrasse]

No Speculation here

Relevant authorities and time will tell us what happened.
Condolences and support to all those touched by this sad event. Should this be the DT I served with I shall raise a glass and recall him getting a bollocking in the bar at Senelager by an army 1*. DT stood perfectly to attention whilst neatly "presenting" pint and fag. A tragic loss to family, service and friends.
