RagMan Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 (edited) An Md-500 helicopter based out of Newberg, OR with Precision Helicopter Services crashed in Salem, OR yesterday while harvesting christmas trees. Not sure what caused the crash. Pilot was taken to the hospital with broken bones. Amazing that he survived the crash, considering how tore up the cockpit appears to be. http://pictures.salem-news.com/d/1613-2/polk-county-helicopter-crash-2.jpg http://pictures.salem-news.com/d/1610-2/polk-county-helicopter-crash.jpg Article http://www.salem-news.com/articles/november152010/helicopter-crash.php Edited November 16, 2010 by RagMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'If you are going to crash a helicopter, do it a 500' Look at the cabin, its egg shaped for a reason. The egg is the world's most perfect shipping container.
