407 in the snow
Pacific Northwest, maybe heliskiing, couple days ago. Nothing on any of the usual channels. Buddies snowmobiling took the picture.

I don't think that's gonna buff out.
Any idea on fatalities or injuries? (Hoping the answer is no ....) |
the paint color and striping would lend itself to Blackcomb. but I havent heard anything at all.

Not the sort of thing you could really keep a secret though?

That looks like someone hurt themselves, hope everyone onboard was ok.

Only minor injuries. Location is near Brandywine Mtn, near Whistler, BC. Not pacific northwest.

Aren’t we all a bit over the “buff out” joke.

Walk away accident
Not sure how there were no serious injuries by the look of this pic, damn lucky individuals...

Ah, Blackcomb. Known as a quality operator with good pilots, but this makes 3 crashes in the past year.
They can afford to dribble a little hydraulic fluid in the snow - they have a bank of greenie goodwill being the first carbon-neutral helicopter operator. Albeit with the sleight of hand of buying a tree orchard somewhere. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-rele...300927178.html |
Pilot, five passengers - minor injuries only. Apparently a roll-over.

They had an accident and you think they were lucky?... /ˈləkē/ adjective adjective: lucky; comparative adjective: luckier; superlative adjective: luckiest

Yeah, when the volume of the cabin gets compromised by the extent it was they were lucky there were no serious injuries (but unlucky to roll over in the first place, obviously).
