Thank you all.
So far the preliminary cause is a brown out (dust blown up from the rotor) but nothing definite from the FAA or NTSB

Lord -

We have those among us who served others by flight, giving of themselves to save the lives of other people they do not even know. Always caring for the hurts of people given into their care. They now need help, and healing.

In Jesus way, care for them. Help them to return to their calling, as they have helped so many others they may not even remember...

This I pray

AMEN

thanks everyone,
It just got worse today. Guardian Air and Classic life guard had a mid air collison in Flagstaff at about 3:50 this afternoon. 7 total on board the 2 helicopters, no survivors.
I used to wotk for Guardian Air and have worked on that aircraft, a good fried is still the mechanic on it. I am at a loss.

Best wishes and a speedy recovery to these everyday heros.

I know how much we appreciate what they do as servants to the community and their willingness to help others in need.

Prayers for the flight crew and their families.
