Photo Comment

N5028E pictured being imported for Rotortech Helicopters, this Hughes 500 would be registered C-GVEB. Sold to Prism Helicopters in January 1987, the helicopter would be operated until it was substantially damaged on March 11, 2012 after a skid sank into the snow landing off-airport at Trading Bay, AK and rolled over. Stored by Westcan Aircraft Sales & Salvage, it was exported to the USA as N49WK. The machine was rebuilt and is current with Flying Z Ranch at the time of uploading.
