Helicopter Crash In Western KY
KENTUCKY...
A pilot says a gust of wind caused him to lose control of a helicopter that crashed in western Kentucky just after taking off at the Hopkinsville airport. A police report says the two-man aircraft belonged to the pilot, 34-year-old Matthew Healy, who is stationed at Fort Campbell. The pilot was the only person aboard the aircraft and he was treated at a hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. Police say investigators from the Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board were expected at the site this week.
