Robinson R22 Beta crash near near McMinnville, Oregon, United States

Robinson R22 Beta N501HL, owned by Aarow Aircraft Leasing and leased to Jerry Trimble Helicopters, with two aboard on an instructional flight. Two helicopters collided in flight at about 14:00 near Lafayette Highway and Southeast Stringtown Road, southeast of McMinnville, and came down in a farm field beside Highway 233. Aboard the Robinson R22 Beta N501HL, operated by the flight school Jerry Trimble Helicopters, were flight instructor Maddie Aasbo, 22, and a student pilot from the United Kingdom. Aboard the AS350B3 N704RH was its sole occupant, Tyler Sturdevant, 38. All three were killed. The FAA and the NTSB are investigating and no cause has been published. Airfield observations through the hour reported light rain with broken and overcast layers from 700 to 1,500 feet, improving to 10 miles visibility by 21:15Z. Each aircraft is recorded separately, so this collision appears as two entries. Coordinates are from the ADS-B track.
