In this episode, I will tell the story of the fatal SkyLife 4 medical helicopter crash that took place on December 10, 2015 just north of Bakersfield, CA.  The pilot, flight paramedic, flight nurse, and the patient, were all killed in this accident which occurred in a perfectly functioning helicopter.  The pilot may have had a lack of training and experience with this model helicopter (Bell 407), the advanced avionics, and did not use night vision goggles even though they were required by the operator.  I will also briefly hit on the over use of HEMS in the U.S. as well as how Worker's Compensation can come into play, even in fatal accidents such as this.  
I am very curious to know your thoughts on the overuse of HEMS in the U.S.!  If you have a story you'd like me to discuss please let me know in the comments below.

In this episode, I will tell the FULL story of the Survival Flight fatal medical helicopter crash that took place on January 29, 2019 in southern Ohio.  This flight was operated by Viking Aviation, LLC, DBA Survival Flight, Inc.  The pilot, flight nurse, and flight paramedic were all killed in this crash.  Rumors were heavy that a poor safety culture played a role in the root cause for this accident.  Watch the full episode and let me know if you think that there was far more to the cause of this accident and whether or not you believe that timber thieves shot this helicopter out of the sky in the early hours of a snowy and icy January morning.

In this episode, I will tell the FULL story on helicopter N72EX which was flying Kobe Bryant, his 13-year-old daughter, and 7 other people, including the pilot, when it crashed suddenly into the side of the Santa Monica Mountains just north of Los Angeles, CA on January 26, 2020.  This story will focus on contributing causes of this crash that were almost completely omitted by the media and the NTSB.  There was far more too it than a pilot who simply flew into the clouds.  
And if that wasn't bad enough, I will also talk about the terrible decision that law enforcement and fire personnel made when they decided to share gruesome photos of the accident victims at places like television awards events and bars.  
While these events were tragic and the results have caused pain to millions of people, there are still lessons to be learned so that these same mistakes are never made again.

This is the story of an Air Evac Lifeteam medical helicopter that was severely damaged as the Fenestron tail ingested a fire extinguisher cover - all while another employee dances for the landing pilot and medical crew.  How were his moves?  More importantly, aside from the obvious damage caused, what other dangers were at risk here?

This story involves a French medical helicopter, specifically SAMU 29 and their encounter with kite surfers and a paraglider while landing to pick up an injured beach goer at the Blancs Sablons beach in Le Conquet (Finistere).  This story involves reconnaissance flights, rotor wash, and more specifically, wake vortex and wake turbulence.  Did you know that wake vortices could be so powerful from a tiny little helicopter like the EC135?  I am curious to know what your training or expectation was in your background.  Lemme know below!
