    Ruling out any mechanical failures it sounds like a classic example of a pilot pushing their luck with weather that’s legal but maybe not smart, especially when bypassing multiple airfields before the crash.

    I know nothing about helos, but it sure sounds like VFR into IMC conditions, which scares the crap outa me. Must be tough when the boss says fly. Do Helos fly normal IFR flights like planes?

    You can if the aircraft is equipped properly. Nothing changes with the aerodynamics, it's just a matter of either having an autopilot/hold mode type system or a flight symbology setup since you have no outside references like in VMC.

    Even with the symbology it is very difficult to transition from forward flight to hovering with symbology when you do not practice on a regular basis. It’s a shame to see this happen regardless of who is on board.

    Looks a lot better than the last off runway landing in Iran.

    Should’ve re-engined it and putt an all new avionics suite in it for a 757x. Beautiful bird.
