A helicopter crashed while filming an “untitled military reality show.” (I got this info through the comments on Yahoo. The article is very unhelpful.) Another comment lists the pilot’s name as David Gibbs and the airframe as a Bell 206B helicopter. The crash occurred in Acton, California and the production company is listed as Bongo Productions. RIP to all involved.

That’s an embarrassing way to go. Not in combat, but making a TV show. Sad!
True. Sadly, accidents happen every day. . .
I knew Dave and take a bit of offense to “an embarrassing way to go” like dying in combat is any better? Dave was a safe, kind, funny guy. And he died doing what he loved, flying and being of service. It was a horrible accident.
Rob, God bless your friend. No disrespect meant at this end. . .
