Yes, Expert Investigators from the Canadian helicopter Company. I''ve dealt with those experts before, they''ll find that it wasn''t actually a fire, but that the Sikorsky design was combusibly enhanced and that the Baku FD was Extinguisherly delayed........

good one 407. here''s what a buddy passed on.......

I just came back from the Vancouver office today and saw some pictures
of
the crash from Baku. Aircraft burned and is a right off. Nobody hurt.
Happened during auto training, the local national pilot stood the S-76
on
her tail to the point where the tail hit first and came down so hard
that it
broke off the gear and skidded on the runway. This ripped out the fuel
tank
and started the aircraft burning.
