I just watched a segment about the helicopter (a Sikorsky) Bryant and his 13 year-old daughter had been killed in while flying to a basketball game. The NTSB concluded that a combination of bad weather and poor judgment on part of the pilot was the cause of the crash.
When it comes to helicopters, you could probably put what I know about them into a sewing thimble. I never liked flying in them when I was in Vietnam and was a door gunner on one occasion and decided that was a job better suited for someone with a death wish.
On a trip to Hawaii, my wife thought it would be very nice if we toured the islands in a helicopter. I was totally against it, but the wife and kids wanted to do it, so I went along with it. I don’t think I ever prayed so much until we landed. I just don’t understand them and would much rather fly a small private plane over the islands and be much more comfortable.
