Today we went out and celebrated Chris's Life. It was a really nice gathering.
I rescind my statement about ATC. After talking with JP and Keith today, they said She did everything right.
From what I was able to gather, the accident happened when the Cirrus was turning from downwind to base. Altitude was unknown. The Cirrus clipped the top of the R44 in the middle of the turn. They ruled out wind as a factor.
An admission from the group, and other pilots was that Chris was the best at autorotations. If there was any way to safely put it in the ground, he would have done it. Unfortunately, it was one of those helpless moments.
We have a very dangerous profession and hobby. Be safe every one.
