Kendall-Tamiami Executive Airport
Two Men Killed in Fiery Aviation Accident
Two men were killed recently when their helicopter crashed shortly after takeoff from Kendall-Tamiami Executive Airport. According to their flight plan, the men were heading toward Orlando when their aircraft went down in an industrial park near the Everglades. The pilot had many years of experience flying helicopters and was the owner of a helicopter charter service based out of Kendall-Tamiami. No one on the ground was injured in the crash, but several nearby witnesses heard the accident and ran out with fire extinguishers to save the men.
