N698DM Down


A helicopter registered to K&S Helicopters of Kailua-Kona, HI, N698DM (msn 0348E), an McDonnell-Douglas MD500E (Model 369E), suffered a hard landing outside Hilo, on the island of Hawai‘i today. Here's the Star*Bulletin article link.

This helicopter was once registered to Paradise Helicopters, and used to be based at the Turtle Bay Resort which used to transport select guests to (& from) HNL.

This photo of N698DM was taken in 2005, while it was based on O‘ahu for Paradise Helicopters. It also did contract work for a couple of state agencies.
