Based on the crash photo above it is amazing and unreal that the pilot was not killed.

This would be a good time to remind our readers that Oregon’s soldiers fly these fragile aircraft routinely. Some may have been involved in some of the 6 helicopter tanker takeovers in the Gulf or the Venezuelan action.

Here is the background on the Oregon crash. Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office reports, “On January 15, 2026, at approximately 08:37am, The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office received reports of an unknown crash near the 2800 block of Moonshine Park Rd in Logsden, OR. While enroute, Deputies learned the incident involved a helicopter, which crashed into a cow pasture. The crash did not physically harm nearby structures, individuals, or livestock. There is no ongoing threat to the community.Responders contacted the pilot onsite, who was the sole occupant of the commercially operated Bell JetRanger helicopter. The pilot suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was transported for further evaluation and treatment. The cause of the crash is still unknown and under investigation. “
