at least the engine was running the whole way down...
Couldn't have been to bad.
Probably nothing more than a cockpit warning light or something the pilots felt or heard. Better safe than sorry and beingQuote:

one years ago when a PD JetRanger, PD 3 landed in Crocheron Park in Bayside, Queens. It took hours before the ship was
packed up and taken away. It was like an event in the neighborhood. LOL
Same chopper had to land in Prospect Park around 1am Tuesday morning, again due to a faulty warning light.

I thought that was weird, too. FAA records show it was delivered in 2004, I guess it might have been one of the earliest. Still, I think they can get more than six years out of her. Our tax dollars at work. :xQuote:
