Crash

Had a serious helio crash near here this past week. An old "B" model Huey crashed with 6 on board, all fatal. Evidently the operation was illegal as a 3 dollar bill. A outfit was giving rides in it along with allowing ex helio pilots to fly it. No CFI on board at all. Was flying NOE in a very rugged area that they had not surveyed. As some of you know, NOE is only flown by military to avoid small arms fire and done at treetop level. No civilian use of NOE is explainable or justified. ( NOE, nap of the earth). Which means keeping the skids out of the tree limbs and no higher. Had no FAA approval or LODA to do so. So lawsuits will be forthcoming.  The old UH-1B was a slug when loaded unlike the UH-1H which was a good bird. Bad no matter how you look at it.
