Video Of R44+hanger Door=trouble

[J31]

That video makes me remember what a wise seasoned pilot once told me. “Before you lift off take a good look all around and most importantly look up for wires, obstructions and other aircraft! Even when you just landed, there may be things you missed.”

 

To Err is human…….do not become complacent.

Did anyone save a copy? Youtube has pulled it for "copyright" by the pilot

Wow.....That ride ended pretty quick. Glad to hear no one was seriously hurt. Could of been worse. :shock:

not really a great site to link from though as they have lots of NSW items, and some things that shouldn't be viewed by the younger generation.

A similar event happened in Calgary many moons ago when a very experienced pilot was landing a B47 in front of hangar 4 (now Kenn Borek) Another 47 was sitting on the ramp with the blades not tied down and as he manuvered sideways to miss the flapping blades he contacted the closed doors of the hangar with far more disaterous results. No one was hurt but the helicopter was consumed by fire due to the wonderful safety aspect of the 47's fuel tank location and mounts--prior to the later mods.

Hope nothing like this was sayed: "Sorry for the way things went ya'll. You will enjoy your ride next time - you will ride in a brand new Raven II and I will assure you the ride will be a little longer. Only that front seat passenger must take the taxi next time."
