A National Transportation Safety Board report released Wednesday provides details on the July 22, 2010 crash outside of Kingfisher

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Investigators say the pilot of a medical helicopter that crashed near Kingfisher three years ago was pretending to hunt coyotes when his aircraft struck a tree and plummeted to the ground. The 2010 crash killed pilot Al Harrison and nurse Ryan Duke and injured paramedic Michael Eccard. No patients were on board. A National Transportation Safety Board report released Wednesday says Eccard told investigators that the trio talked about another pilot flying on a coyote hunt shortly before the crash. The report says Harrison laughed and said, “like this …” before tilting helicopter's nose down. He pulled back up and the helicopter struck a tree and crashed to the ground.
