The data is incorrect. The breakup was caused by a rotor blade failure due to battle damage. The aircraft shook itself to pieces. I still have a small piece of the aircraft, because I did the bullet hole repair to the rotor blade. The blade failed after apron 100 flight hours. The date is correct. |
