"What's New..."
HELICOPTER CRASH IN KILLINGLY
The tragic loss of two pilots
- Tore Haugland and Allan Osmundson,
was felt by many in the performance
airshow business.
The two pilots lost their lives
flying the helicopter cross country.
They were flying the Showcopters
R44 camera ship, when they crashed
on the evening of June 14, 2004.
The two pilots were enroute to
the big airshow at Quonset Point, Rhode Island.
Showcopter #1, an R44 performance
helicopter, is normally flown in
performances and filming jobs by
Jim Cheatham, and
occasionally in filming jobs by
Bob Bolton or Chris Gularte.
When the airship is filming, a
cameraperson sits in the rear of the 4 place aircraft.
The crash occured at night, while
passing through Killingly Conneticut.
This is a sad anouncement relative
to the several aviation projects currently in production
at ALL PLANET.

Aside from authoring
(not filming) the Showcopter's DVD "Airshows from Above" production,
Gabreal Franklin [Director/Camera
Operator],
Brian Ging [Co-Director/Camera
Operator] and
Scott Koue [Sound Capture in Field/Sound

have all recently flown missions
with the camera ship
as well as in Showcopters 2 and

This has been during aerial filming
for the upcoming programs
* "Sky Dancers" - about
life as acrobatic performance pilots,
* "Hover" - focused
on helicopters and the uses they have, especially relative to airshow coverage
and capturing 'Sky Dancing' stunt pilots routines.
Future segments for "Traveling with
the Showcopters" continue to be filmed, and has been in production historically
by Jim Cheatham for some time.
All Planet continues to film interviews
with pilots to compliment the aerial footage. |
