By now, you might have heard the helicopter that used to be Skycam 16 crashed.
I flew in Skycam several times. I always felt safe. It was always fun. I had the pleasure of riding along two great pilots-- Dave Frey and Randy Freeman. Both treated Skycam like it was their own. It showed.
I took the photo you see above in May of 2007.
I had hoped the helicopter would have met a dignified retirement, rather than in pieces, in a wheat field in Lebanon County.
At least, no one was seriously hurt when it went down during a crop dusting mission.
