HeliNinja Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 R.I.P. I know some Blue pilots, really hoping they are home safe right now. Quote

Karl Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 They've found the onboard camera to record video for sale to the tourists. It's in bad shape. There's a picture of the aircraft down also. It's pretty bad.http://www.staradvertiser.com/news/breaking/134020768.html?id=134020768 Quote
