SABINE PASS, Texas — A helicopter with five people aboard crashed into the Gulf of Mexico on the way to an oil rig early Thursday, and rescue crews have picked up one survivor and continue to search for the others.
Coast Guard Petty Officer Renee Aiello said the Coast Guard was alerted at 9:47 a.m. by a call from the helicopter leasing company Rotorcraft Leasing Co. LLC of Broussard, La., which reported that the pilot had not checked in as scheduled.

That headline is a mistake - the crashed helo was NOT a CG one..
I assume it came pre-botched from the twinkies at the AP..

I seem to remember an earlier post of his about an S-76 and icing concerns...
Hope he's ok.

He's been around, but apparently hasn't noticed this post:
