Rick Westra Op-Ed On Wire Strike Accident

[AD13]

All,

 

Some time back, a pilot named Rick Westra wrote a very moving piece about his tragic 2010 accident in Colorado involving a helicopter wire strike and the resulting crash that left himself seriously injured and his wife perished.

The story was written as a safety tribute in one of our helicopter publications but for some reason I cannot locate the story now.

Does anyone out there have a link to the op-ed that Mr. Westra penned?

I've searched a lot and can't come up with the copy. And assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I think this is what you're looking for. Page 4. Very intense and sad article.

Yes, that's it. Thank you so very much. I've looked everywhere except the Bell Safety Program guides. And yes, it's a sad and very sobering look at a crash.

Thanks again.
