412driver Posted March 18, 2003 Report Share Posted March 18, 2003 good one 407. here''s what a buddy passed on....... I just came back from the Vancouver office today and saw some pictures of the crash from Baku. Aircraft burned and is a right off. Nobody hurt. Happened during auto training, the local national pilot stood the S-76 on her tail to the point where the tail hit first and came down so hard that it broke off the gear and skidded on the runway. This ripped out the fuel tank and started the aircraft burning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
