Don't know.

My worry is that CJ aviation operates a 109 or 2 locally.

Yes.

Agusta 109 Power.

CJ Corprate

Pennstar - The Second ship (streamlined) is an A109 Power

Yes it was a medical flight...they had just lifted off from the hospital after dropping off their patient and were returning to their base when they crashed in Puget Sound.

Don't know.

They are all dead, so they can't tell us.

The NTSB report will be out in a year or three.


As for Life Lion.... Penn State flies Daluphines - almost double the size of the Agusta 109 or Sikorsky S76. The Daluphine is a 10 million craft, as opposed to 2-3 million for a BK117 or S76.

Uggg, don't like to hear about heli crashes. We work out of two MD 902's and two A.Star's. I feel for their families......
 
Better snow me before ya put me in one of those...

Take me to the funeral home, I don't wanna fly...

Hey, I should have that tatooed on my chest!
