I believe this is the helicopter that crashed while an instructor was demonstrating the auto-rotation capabilities to an Alaskan businessman and his two sons while transporting the helicopter to Anchorage, Alaska. The crash happened in Southeast Alaska and killed three people; the instructor, the businessman and one of his sons. One son survived and I met the remaining family on a flight from Anchorage to Seattle. A very heartbreaking event for the wife and other children. She was also pregnant at the time of the accident.
@@djlau1 I don't believe that it will be restored. This Helicopter was floated completely. This will kill all technology inside. Engines, hydraulics, electronics, everything! So it will be cheaper to scrap it and buy a new Helicopter. So sad, so true...
TO ALL THE PEOPLE ASKING WHY NOT ON THE TRAILER, ITS BECAUSE I WAS TOLD NOT TO PUT IT ON THE TRAILER RIGHT AWAY. I DID PUT IT ON THE TRAILER LATER ON. They had to take some more stuff out of it, easier to do off the trailer.
Pretty smart action plan. I was going like no way he's going to lift it up with the water weight trapped inside the this wreck. The "drag it there" was the nice surprise.
Awesome. I've flown both of those models in the past. Excellent job! I really thought for a second that they were going to put it on the trailer. That would have been one of the kind! Great camera work.
I agree however, the water could have permanently damaged the structural integrity, like how one never knowingly buys a car that was flooded. Searching the tail number will give the answer.

@@billyboblillybob344 Coalville Utah. Correcting the year: ‘83. In ‘85 a 214 from the same company crashed in Lake Tahoe while building a ski lift. One of the pilots was a friend who perished. Can find the accident report under N214RM.
@@paulwikstrom Do you know what came of that accident? The description of the GP wheel disintegrating smacks of a maintenance issue or possibly negligence on the part of the OEM. I don't know off hand if there has been any changes or ADs against that wheel...sad to lose the pilot though...
@@billyboblillybob344 sorry, I do not have info. I do know that the 214 had frequent compressor issues. When the accident happened they were picking up a very heavy load. Interesting side note: last time I flew in that particular helicopter (1980) it had a broken engine mount which made for an interesting ride! We switched to Lamas the next day. I really liked the 214 but the Lamas were much more reliable and efficient, even though we had to move our drills in more long line loads with the Lama
Ca me rapelle en 2008 quand Canadian helicos on ramener a leur base de Les Cèdres a l'élingue avec un ASTAR, la carcasse du BELL 206L que pilotais Nathalie D'Astous et qui s'était crasher sur le lac St-Louis a la hauteur de Pte-Claire peut après son décollage de Dorval.
In Canada (C-F ident) Neat. Also, never knew lifting helo had instruments that pilot can see when looking down through the bubble (makes sense of course). Thanks for the video
C’est toi qui pilotait Jacques? Ça serait intéressant que tu donne une brève description des évènements,ceci empêcheraient les journaliste amateurs de spéculer. Je croyait pas que les pâles supporteraient tant de pressions.
The infamous "Huey" UH1, during Vietnam was built in several different configurations UH1 B thru H models. The H had the most internal room, largest seating capacity, and largest engine 1,800hp Turbine. These were designed to lift dead Hueys, airplanes, and jeeps out of the forest and back to the bases for repairs. From the 1980's to current, it was common to take a small body UH1B and install the UH1H engine and blades etc. and use it for heli logging, and many other rescue and lifting operations, they named the popular conversion "Super B" . To date, there has not been another helicopter so universal, modifiable, or popular.
@@timmorris3056 You refer to Army versions. The Marines used the UH-1N also known as the "twin pac" Huey which operated the twin PT-6 engines versus the Army's T53 powered versions. The horsepower for the H models is 1400 although they use the Cobra Huey motor these days (1800 hp) and call them Super 205s or Super H's making similar adjustments as the B model with the updated motor/rotorblades/etc.
@@billyboblillybob344 That's great info, you're aware of the many configurations as well. We used to live in Darby Montana near the Garelick helicopter company where they performed many modifications and were able to see the many applications for these birds. Have a Great day.
@@timmorris3056 Yeah, I know Garlick. The owner of that shop is the only person to own a commercial Huey Cobra. The Army called them AH-1G or the updated version AH-1S. The 'commercial' version was designated the Bell model 209. It is sort of the poor man's version of the K-Max which is referred to as an aerial truck where it is minimal helicopter with a powerful engine and can be used for heli-lift work and not have to worry about transporting people because there is no cabin. Garlick's 209 didn't last long however as he put it into a lake trying to lift out another helicopter that went into the lake. So ended the commercial Cobra experiment.
Actually I think the turbine can be completely repaired without much mess ... transmission is another story. I am not an specialist at all BTW. Just a techy guy.
