RagMan Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Got word from my brother that he heard of a ship from P.J. Helicopters, based out of Northern California, that went down in SoCal Thursday or Friday. Does anyone have any info on this? Not sure if it was a crash or a hard landing. Any info in appreciated. - Ragman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this must be the second one down (MD500): PJ Helicopter pilot survives helicopter crash southwest of Colusa, Last week Oct. 28 http://www.ntsb.gov/aviationquery/brief.aspx?ev_id=20111027X02557&key=1 Edited November 4, 2011 by iChris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagMan Posted November 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 (edited) Yeah, I just was reading the article on that one yesterday. Very odd for them to be having accidents. They have always maintained very top notch aircraft in regards to maintenance. I sent a call into one of my buddies who flies for them in order to find out what happened, but I think he's been flying a job down in central Cali so he hasn't been able to get back to me.
