Possibly Airspan. C-GLYO. Seen here in better times, and worse.

The remains of the cockpit area doesn't look survivable to me, certainly not for anybody sitting in the copilot seat. Very lucky to walk away from that one. Sadly sure enough they won't rebuild that one, she's well and truly properly bent.

Some not bad reporting - without a reference of distance to the nearest schoolbus - for a change. Tailrotor looks in good shape.

Tailrotor looks in good shape.
Too good to have been powered at the time of impact.

Appearances can be deceiving, both pilots walked away with minor injuries.

Might be the only bit they can salvage, everything else is totaled.

Very glad to see that both occupants walked away from that wreck. That was a very nice ship, and regularly flies over my house. That video clip shows just how lucky they were to survive that situation, a very fortunate outcome.

It was a 212HP, not many of those around.
