>>1513771>They weren't actually flying to KCMAThat's what I though too, but the reality is that they were indeed flying from airport to airport
" The helicopter operated by Island Express Helicopters Inc., was on an on-demand passenger visual flight rules flight from John Wayne-Orange County Airport, in Santa Ana, California, to Camarillo Airport, in Camarillo, California." - NTSB.
They had a driver waiting to pick them up at CMA.
Which is why I asked... why fly VFR helo the entire way? Also the CIGs were forecast around 2,000ft everywhere, so on paper the weather looked fine.
