Cessna vs Helicopter Crash at Carlisle | Dayton News

A chilling aviation tragedy unfolded at Carlisle Airport on August 19th when a Cessna piloted by Dr. Paul Sokoloski collided with a Pennsylvania State Police helicopter during a training flight — leaving Sokoloski dead and the two helicopter pilots critically injured. Despite clear communication between the aircraft before impact, the helicopter crew claimed they couldn’t see the Cessna due to their position and orientation. Even with experienced pilots on both sides, the crash underscores how quickly things can go wrong in the skies. The NTSB is investigating, having recovered key wreckage from both planes, but no official cause has been determined — expect a final report in at least a year. This haunting incident serves as a sobering reminder of aviation’s inherent risks. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
