Eric Hunt Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Frost work is inherently dangerous, flying in the dead of night in foggy and cold conditions. Only did it for 1 week and elected to not do it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only did it for 1 week and elected to not do it again.Well, that makes sense. I was trying to figure out what the hell happened. Frost isn't a common occurance in FL, right?

gary-mike Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Superstition would tell you the R-44 was doomed from the beginning with that tail #.  What they growing there? That field (in the blurry picture)looks alight like the crops they find hidden up in the hills out west. Medicinal use right  Glad every one lived to tell the story.

HelliBoy Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 N451DB-2004 R44-Bravo Helicopters, Miami N666SL-2007 R44 II-Downrite Engineering, Miami (a real estate developer) No pics of the JetRanger in the video. Get ready for frost control insurance rates to go up!

Boatpix Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 This is our local paper in Palm Beach County which has more information: http://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/33-helicopter-crashes-in-the-glades-a-reminder-1106470.html  Although I own the website www.FrostPatrol.com we don't do much of this as it is more popular for our pilots to take pictures of boats when its warm and sunny rather than when cold and dark. www.Boatpix.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikon858 Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 one went down the night before that too....it was damn cold though, had to scrape the ice off the bubble before we went flying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagMan Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 (edited) How and why did this thread go from talking about agricultural helicopter crashes in Palm Beach county, to advertising of the BoatPix business? I don't think that information is very relevant to the topic at hand, Tom. I'm not trying to burst your bubble here, but there is a time and place for everything. Edited December 9, 2010 by RagMan 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Guardian Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 N666SL-2007 R44 IIÂ Reminds me of our family car growing up. License plate 666-GEM, we called it "Satan's Jem".... lasted almost 18 years though so maybe I would have stuck with that tail number, lol.....
