Written off (destroyed) 27-12-2004: During agricultural (top dressing/crop-spraying) operations, the pilot attempted to fly under a power line, which he had apparently done before. However, on this occasion, he descended too low and the helicopter's skids caught on the ground. The helicopter pitched down and crashed at Las Herrerias, Almeira, Spain. The pilot - the sole person on board - was not injured.
