Seems like those Blackhawks are sitting Ducks
When I was in an aviation unit in Savannah Georgia, the pilots there had a slogan... Fly in a Crashhawk, Die in a Crashhawk
Was this crash mechanical failure?
Normally as long as the main is intact it is pretty easy to auto-rotate these birds down, they are very well balanced.
We just had one go down into a softball field when some of the Falcons were flown over to the base to wish the squadron well as they left for Iraq. They took another bird over, repaired the down bird in the field on the spot and it was back in service. This wasn't even a month ago.
