TC, I didn't expect you to be in your mid 70's by now:}

I think jokes like that show that TC is firmly stuck in his mid-teens, not mid-seventies - although his mid-teens probably were in the mid-70s:E

I do not recall the last name of the Eurocopter Ch. Pilot
Probably Guy Dabadie

EC Chief Pilot Name
 
No, it wasn't Guy. We had traded rides between Blackhawk and the prototype Super Puma at the 1991 Paris Airshow, and knew Guy from having done that. I believe the Ch. Pilot's first name was Etienne.

I'm very much with SAS on this one.

The following NTSB report should be mandatory reading.

It clearly shows that loss of T/R and TRGB (and half the vertical fin in this case) is still controllable!

This report can now be found here: https://app.ntsb.gov/pdfgenerator/Re...Final&IType=LA

Hot and Hi.
Not sure what is what here. Did I state the part in quotes, or all of it?
The accident report shows a guy landing a helo with a damaged TR, what's the problem??

In his post from 2013 Jellycopter linked a NTSB accident report. The URL has since changed.
