I heard the news of that horrific event this morning on the local National Public Radio station. It is truly amazing to see how "close to home" this event comes when someone like Darwin reports in.
Such a sad event. Glad to hear you are ok. ____ Kurt -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, June 29, 2008 10:18 PM To: soaring@airage.com Subject: [RCSE] I'm okay I've gotten several private emails from concerned people regarding the mid air collision of two medical helicopters in Flagstaff AZ where at least 7 people were killed. I am alive and well but a little numb right now. Many know that I fly medical helicopters for AirEvac a division of PHI, Inc. I'm based out of Yuma AZ and have the night shift this week. I'm on duty now. Our company had a fatal accident 3 weeks ago in TX and one of our AZ aircraft crashed on Friday night injuring the 3 crew members as they were landing at an accident scene. The tragedy today was witnessed by some of our employees who were at the Flagstaff hospital visiting our employees injured Friday. I am thankful for the many friends I have in the soaring community and the many emails I've received checking on my welfare. Thank you. For those so inclined please put these people on your prayer list. Darwin N. Barrie Chandler AZ RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
