      Let this be a lesson to everyone, don't trust your life with people that have money and fame, these people usually are the most Reckless people out there. Just because you give a man millions to dribble a basketball does not mean that the pilot he has hired is a responsible person, don't be Starstruck and let that Jade your common sense. This should also be a lesson learning that the media in this country thinks your life is so insignificant and the only person worth mentioning is their so-called star or Hollywood's figure. I hope these families sue the crap out of Kobe Bryant's family, this fool got all those innocent people killed.

    The S-76 is a very safe helicopter! Don't let what happened with Kobe Bryant's crash scare you. The pilot made a bad decision to fly in IMC conditions not the helicopter! The helicopter only does what the pilot inputs. This was not mechanical error, this was a bad judgment call.

      @H Joseph, I totally disagree with your reply. Most helicopter flights are done in VFR flight conditions making them very safe aircraft. Lack of judgment with combination of IMC conditions makes for a dangerous flight. The Sikorsky S76 has been the leader in safety for a long time. Don't be so quick to judge an aircraft based on pilot error. The TAS system are still too this day optional.

      That's why he thought the pilot was descending so fast at 185 miles per hour. The Pilot was trying to go up, but didn't realize the helicopter was going down. The helicopter pilot said in a fog, you might not know if you're going up or down.

      Realistically, They probably had a horrible feeling in the last few moments. If a pilot asks for special permission to fly in bad weather, it would set anyone's nerves on edge; secondly, wasting 15 minutes in a holding pattern is tense, and lastly when all visuals are lost in clouds, it's apparent to everyone onboard. Pretty sure all were in a state of panic. Hillside may have come into view in last second.

      The sound effect used for Airwolf was just Hollywood magic. The actual ship sounds like a UH-1 or Cobra gunship. Some fourth season episodes made less and less effort to dub in the sound effects and let the actual sound remain. But this was ironic since the fourth season didn't make any new flying footage at all.

    Oh the dumb comments are not going to stop anytime.As someone into Aviation and you don't have to be in Aviation to know certain do some research.A helicopter and a fix wing aircraft is a lot more safer than a driving a car.The pilot that crashed with Kobe made his call,he decided to take a risk when everyone was grounded that morning.There is a saying and it applies to every machine we operate''Risk takers are accident Makers'' The next pointer you cannot flying VFR in IFR conditions such as fog.For the love of God it won't work,don't try it!!!!
