I disagree with Jenkins. Lost 2 friends in a helicopter crash above Sacred Falls. They were police officers assisting in a search for a lost hiker. Got so bad up there primary HFD pilot and rescue crew refused to go. HFD got a replacement pilot, not a primary, asked for volunteers, two cops stepped up, they died, along with pilot. Waste of lives. Using improper equipment designed for over water use, got secondary pilot who wanted to become a primary pilot , rescue crew did not want to go, no observer to watch load (police officers in rescue bag) under helicopter while pilot was flying, and bad weather. Poor decision by on scene commanders.
