Carlisle Airport Crash Investigation | Colorado Springs News

A deadly collision shook Carlisle Airport on August 19th when a Pennsylvania State Police helicopter and a Cessna training plane crashed — killing pilot Dr. Paul Sokoloski, 57, while two helicopter crew members survived with serious injuries. The NTSB found both pilots were communicating before impact, with the helicopter crew asking the Cessna to adjust its approach. As the Cessna neared, the helicopter moved off the runway into a grassy area, where visibility was severely limited — making it impossible for the helicopter pilots to see the approaching plane. All major wreckage has been recovered for further analysis, but the exact cause remains unknown; a final report could take up to a year.
