HTV – thank you for the work you put into the site. Quick request, can you update the link to the NTSB report for the “Near OGE hover limits with a tailwind, December 28, 2013” post or add the case number to the post? The NTSB has changed it’s website and now the current link defaults to the main NTSB search page. Thanks for the help, keep up the great work.
Done – thank you!
