Helicopter strikes bird, makes urgent island landing
19 March 2018
A private helicopter carrying two French nationals and their Cambodian translator made an emergency landing in Kampong Chhnang province on Saturday after hitting a bird in Boribor district.
Provincial police chief Loch Vannara said that no one was killed or injured during the incident.
“They immediately landed on an island in Kampong Preah Koki commune after the helicopter hit a big bird which caused the glass on the helicopter to break,” he added. “They could not continue to fly safely.”
Mr Vannara said the helicopter departed from Phnom Penh, but declined to identify the company or the names of the people within the helicopter.

Every hour of helicopter flight needs 10+ hrs of maitenence on the ground, fixed wing is far less. Would never take a rotary flight in south east asia.

Re: Tourist Helicopter Crashes into Huge Bird
Maybe you never hear about it,,, it's never reported in the news, cause the reporter was killed in the crash ?
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Re: Tourist Helicopter Crashes into Huge Bird
Spoke nothing of crashes or anything bad. Rotary flights require much more training and on the ground maitenence for flying when compared to fixed wing. The ratio of fixed wing to rotary flights is astronomically different so you rarely read about helicopter crashes. They happen plenty. More can go wrong with rotary flights and often does.
