Powers Air AS350 was imported as N5768B. It suffered a non-fatal crash February 23, 1994 with another operator in the Volcanoes National Park, Hawaii. The helicopter was written off when it was caught in a down draft at high altitude. An attempt was made to turn away from a mountain, but there was insufficient power to prevent contact with the ground.
