Robinson R22 Beta OO-RWB (c/n 1868) made a fatal crash at Landen in Flemish Brabant on Friday 13 May at 13:30 local. The helicopter of Rotor & Wing Business NV and its crew of two people (Win Daniëls and Stefan Leemans) had taken off from Hoevenen (Stabroek) heliport in Antwerp for a photo flight. First reports mentioned a probable technical failure at low level over the city of Landen that forced the pilot to make an emergency landing. Unfortunately the helicopter hit a street light and crashed in fire killing its two occupants.
