Helicopter crash in HPP! (25 years ago) - PaulW - 04-27-2011
The HTH says today there was a helicopter crash on 1st St in HPP in 1986. Anyone remember this? Whereabouts on 1st Street? Just curious.

The NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board) website database contains a "brief" report of a Fairchild Hiller helicopter accident on April 26th, 1986. The report, rather the Safety Board's synopsis and determination of probable cause, can be read at the following link:
http://dms.ntsb.gov/aviation/AccidentReports/oo52sc452ak23s55d34xoeqo/Q04282011120000.pdf
Unfortunately, the NTSB website's factual report contains no written narrative of the investigation. The investigation was conducted out of the NTSB's Los Angeles Field office and there is no precise location specified other than Keaau (a weakness in the data collection procedures at the time).

Thanks Steve. HPP probably looked quite a bit different back then.
