Helicopter Crash at Essex County Airport in Fairfield Injures Pilot | West Essex, NJ News TAPinto


 


Friends at the field confirm what the witness in the link stated that the aircraft began to yaw and spin at only 150' before coming down hard.  Engine was running after the crash, there is a video out there of it as the blades hit the ground and come apart.  I may not be a fan of Zip but having a potential mechanical failure of the TR at low airspeed and altitude is not a fun experience.  He at least kept it upright and hit skids down but it was very hard.  Hoping the best for the pilot as we never want to see that happen, everyone up here in NY/NJ knows each other.
