Detailed history and photos of helicopter Sikorsky HH-52A Sea Guard Serial 62-054 Register 1376 used by US Coast Guard USCG Track service timeline and current status.
I watched the acident very close to our(CG) helo pad. 1376 never saw the ascending Bell because they had nose up to decrease speed and and power in a retarded setting.
Sad to loose our whole crew for NO REASON. BELL FLOWN BY FOREIGN STUDENT and Dade County Air controllers had too much overlapping traffic.
