That ain't good. I hope the NG guys recovery fully. Any significant pollution to the river from the crash?

Ham, they are equipped with a self sealing fuel tank, the news report I read stated that there was "no significant loss of fuel or oil into the water"...but who knows.

According to wikipedia the O-H 58 Kiowa Scout's are no stranger to... falling out of the sky.

I'll never board a helicopter of any kind.....just looking at one makes me nervous. My first thought was that it was kinda early in the season to be detecting a patch of weed.
