Blackhawk UH-60 helicopter crash (May 25th) Leesburg FL

It is with great sadness that I somewhat belatedly write about the fatal crash of a Blackhawk UH-60 on May 25, 2021 in Leesburg FL. All four people on board died in the crash. According to this May 26th NPR report, the helicopter was owned by Leesburg based Brainerd Helicopters. She was on a training mission when she went down. Flags in Florida were lowered to half mast in honor of those who died in the crash. 

My heartfelt condolences go out to the family, friends, and all who loved the crew. My condolences to all at Brainerd. I know that the Blackhawk and crew are flying in favorable winds.
