My condolences to the families.

 

It sounds like they had the right type of aircraft being that it was twin engine and instrument certified but may be another situation where two crew would have made the difference or higher wx mins. Accident report may shed some light. Does anyone know if the Agusta A109 requires a CVR in the states?

Very sorry to hear about the accident. Was down there during the summer to Pick up a mom and baby to bring back to Canada. Spent some time with a pilot and 2 flight nurses. Very nice people. My prayers go out to the families, freinds and co-workers.

 

Here are some pics of one of Airlifts aircraft on top of Harbour View Hospital from the day I was there.
