Winnie Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Anybody want to PM me the initials or the name... This is a little too close to home. Used to be practically neighbours with them, and almost went to work for them too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CHEVY II Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 No. That's why I edited out the initials in Chevy's post... :censored: gotta love censorship :censored: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_ Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Oh...it was a 206! I thought it was a Labrador as in Vertol SAR. That explains why it wasn't on the news last night. My sincerest sadness and condolences to all who knew the pilot. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
