San José de Ocoa, Dominican Republic. – The first lieutenant Wilker Diaz and the architects assigned to the Foreign Relations Ministry, Manuel Checo and Yendi Vásquez, died yesterday when the helicopter in which they traveled crashed into a mountainside in this southern province.
Dominican Civil Aviation Institute (IDAC) press director Pedro Jiménez said the copter took off at 2:35 p.m. from the Hotel Santo Domingo‘s heliport headed to Ocoa and went down when it was returning to Santo Domingo.
“The airship the type Colibrí Charli 120, registry November 871 Sierra Alpha took off at approximately 2:35 p.m., but the last communication with the pilot was at 2:55, hour in which made contact with the control center to request the closing of his flight plan because he had Ocoa on sight,” an IDAC statement said.
“AT 3:52 the information was received that an aircraft had precipitated in the community El Limon in this province, dying its three occupants including the pilot,” the press office said.
The chopper is reportedly owned by Dominican consul in Haití, Carlos Castillo.

A few questions that I heard over the radio yesterday arise from this tragic accident:
1. A consul for Haiti and candidate for senator can afford to own and operate a helicopter and military pilot?
2. What official government business did the two female architects working for the foreign office had traveling to the Haitian consul's farm in San Jose de Ocoa?
3. Did the pilot's emergency crash procedures fail to control the helicopter blades in descent for a safe landing, or was it a frontal collision with the many mountains in that area?
4. Is this the same type of helicopter that was owned by the drug lord Quirino and later ex-coronel Pepe Goico, or is it the same one?

Yes many questions arise, generoso......A very sad loss indeed ! Such a nice chopper, an EC120 to have destroyed!!..I'd love to own one, but @ $1.3MM+ USD and $500+ USD/hr operation, I would have to belong to the PLD party for a couple of months before I can afford one... I can always dream.

Blutarsky was not referring to the helicopter pilot, but to the Kennedy assassination and Oswald.
