Description

Stored in front of HeliAir Sweden's hangar at the airport in Västerås.

The helicopter was involved in an accident during a reindeer herding at Hardangsfjället, northern Norway, in April 2007. The pilot, which was the sole occupant, survived the accident, but the helicopter was badly damaged. The accident was triggered when the tail rotor hit the side of a mountain. The severed aircraft was maneuvered into the rugged mountain to prevent it from tumbling down a very steep slope.
