West Coaster Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Saw this on another forum a while ago. Seems like the tail might have impacted the ground after what looks like a hard landing. Could have broken the TR dirveshaft or something like that. Anyways there is obvious LTE going on and the pilot, thru panic or lack of training, picked it back up into a hover and fought the machine. Note too how the non-flying pilot has his arm resting on the window sill looking cool for the camera. Had he been paying attention to the cockpit and not the camera perhaps the outcome would have been different. Hope the one soldier who was thrown out didn't get the business end of the main rotor when it started cutting up the grass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
