I found out the other day what happened to our helicopter. According to the pilot, the compressor, "aspirated a foreign object".
What does that mean? Well, that the height we were, there is but one choice. A bird was sucked into the engine and we went down.
We'll see if it happens again. I have Take 2 of helicopter fly time on Monday.

First there was "Surfin' Bird," now there's "Slurpin' Bird."
Heh. I'm naughty. I just feel sorrier for you and your crew than I do for the ill-fated bird.
Jenn found humour in the irony that we were out scaring up birds, only to be taken down by one sucked into the compressor of our helicopter.
She of course found the humour in this after we were safe and on the ground.
