206L down in PNG
Heard that a Bell 206L operated by Helifix of Port Moresby crashed into a lake around 11000ft on Mt Willhelm in the highlands of PNG....understand the crew are ok....and the owners are looking for a MIL to lift it out....bravohotel
Shaking My Head
Glad everyone is ok, I expect some ego's are a little bruised. When will some learn that what comes off the ground easy in POM comes down even easier at 11,000 +.

I heard a rumour one of the passengers was a "MINISTER" by the initials of BC
Might have been some pressure on the pilot to do something he didn't really want to
It happened to me.

Actually Hevilift's are on the Moldovan register as are Heli-Harvests. MH-Heliniugini's Russian gear still on the RA- register. Exceedingly unlikely that any Russian gear will ever get on the P2- register. Why would the Russians translate the manuals into English anyway? Do themselves out of a job? I don't think so. Remember how difficult it was for VIH to get that Kamov onto the C- register.

Well okay, lost as in a loss of being useful for a very long time.
From the reply I gather that the event did indeed happen then.
Would you feel free to tell us where it might be even?
