Yep and the reason there were 20 was the other bird had the General's brass furniture. Didn't spread load the pax.
Crap! Sorry to learn that.
Toward the end of my 23 year career in the Marine Corps, I really did not like to ride in helicopters. I was hearing about way too many people I knew being involved in accidents or near accidents and, counting my own adventures in vertical take off and landing, I felt like a fugitive from the law of averages.
Service in the armed forces is dangerous enough even when you do everything correctly. But dying because of furniture; that just sucks.
