whenever there is a snow landing there is going to be a white out because of the blades.

Seems like helicopters crash more than planes?

I flew Blackhawks for over 20 years. Snow landings and dust landings are very tricky. Little room for error.

I had many hairy flights. Engine failures, emergency landings, tree strikes…it’s a dangerous business. If you have a good crew and remain calm and follow your EP’s and limits…most incidents are survivable.

"A National Guard official called it a "blessing" that no one was injured "

"it was a blessing," as if he dare not mention God in today's WOKE military, fearing a lawsuit from hyper separationists, and as if blessings are from energy as the uncaused cause. Thank God for not fatalities in this case.

A helicopter is 10,000 parts all trying to get away from each other.

"2 National Guard Black Hawk helicopters crash in American Fork Canyon"

"I told you. You take the LEFT fork and I'll take the RIGHT fork."

"Oops....my bad."
