Helicopter Crash Near Shafter California

A commercial pilot operating a helicopter for Inland Crop Dusters, Inc., had to make a forced landing near Shafter, California on January 22, 2010.

While maneuvering over a field, the pilot noticed a ”pop” and then a “yaw” from the helicopter. The pilot then immediately forced a hard landing in the field.

Further examination of the helicopter showed the main rotor blades contacted and severed the tail boom, as well as the engine was separated from its mounts.
