A riding buddy of mine who is a semi-professional photograper (https://weswilsonphotography.smugmug.com/) was scheduled to fly on this helicopter the very next morning. I knew he was going up in it again, but wasn't sure exactly when, so when it came across the news that it had crashed, my first thought was of him. A text went initially unanswered (he got a lot in a short period of time) but FB to the rescue.

Photographer, hours from taking flight, shares memory of Huey

Wes Wilson has three previous flights on the historic helicopter.

Few realize the risks people take every day doing what they enjoy. Still very sad for the 6 who were on it.

Scary how close he came yet I can understand his draw to it. Fate was on his side.
