This past President’s Day weekend was unfortunately a deadly one for the aviation community. Two helicopter crashes occurred within hours of each other in Florida and California. Tragically, a police officer was killed and the pilot was injured in a crash near Newport Beach, California. Two other people were injured in a crash near Miami, Florida though a third person in Florida miraculously survived uninjured. These two helicopters – an MD 500N in California and a Robinson R44 in Florida – are very different machines though it seems they both suffered mechanical problems.
