Some more aviation news

 

 It's been an interesting week for general aviation. Theres been a lot of accidents involving helicopters, one is missing in the sea with four crew also missing, and a big increase in numbers of minor accidents, including one that hit an ambulance.

 Fire fighting aircraft are always at high risk and this week one fire fighting aircraft and a helicopter have crashed, sadly the crew of the aircraft lost their lives in the accident.

 A glider pilot had a lucky escape after feeling vibrations, he landed, an inspection showed cracks in the gliders tail.

 A commercial passenger flight suffered serious damage after running into a hail storm, with the windows cracked, the radome smashed and wing and tail leading edges badly damaged.
