Winter WX in Istanbul!
A helicopter has made an emergency landing on a coastal sidewalk due to the harsh weather conditions in Sarıyer, the northernmost district of Istanbul on the European side, daily Hürriyet has reported. The helicopter was carrying a well-known Turkish businessman, chairman of the executive board of Hattat Holding Mehmet Hattat, as well as his two companions. "We left Amasra [in the Black Sea province of Bartın] and it took one-and-a-half hours to reach Istanbul with a calm flight. We were supposed to land in Maslak, but there was a smoke cloud above it. It is important for a helicopter not to enter fog or cloud, and I didn't want to take a risk. This is why I landed the helicopter in the safest place I found," helicopter pilot Mehmet Aksel said after landing. Wintry weather caused traffic chaos around Istanbul yesterday, causing accidents and bottlenecks on highways on both sides of the city. |
I landed the helicopter in the safest place I found Wow, must have been desperation squeezing in there! And a 222, VFR only? What's all that about? Oh well. That should generate some paperwork! |
good job for NOT pressing on...:D

Also thought it was a 222 but on closer observation of the film its a 230 no idea if that has extra kit.
