I just heard on the scanner, that someone from the govt (central dispatch wasn't sure what govt agency it was) was receiving an aircraft emergency distress call from the same area as the helicopter crash this morning. The agents are on seen/in the area, awaiting the sheriffs dept to go on the property to investigate the distress signal.
I did drive by the crash site today. The helicopter looked very small. It was only a two seater.
I find it a little ironic that the pilot was airlifted to Evansville in a helicopter, and yet they believe high winds caused the helicopter to crash..
{edit}
The Air Force just called back central dispatch and advised them that they talked to the property owner, and will be investigating the crash site to see if the emergency distress signal is coming from the helicopter that did crash this morning, or if there is another crash? Only took the Air Force 12 hours to pickup the distress signal of a downed aircraft!
