A Bell 412 and a PZL Sokol crashed yesterday in Spain in separate incidents. Both were firefighting.
The sole-occupant pilot in the Bell 412 was sadly killed, while both crew in the Sokol survived with injuries.
Both helicopters were operated by INAER.

As Jeremy (yes, you... :wink: ) probably will not like me copying and pasting all and everything from his website, I will just refer to
