Helicopter Rotor Blade Kills Pennsylvania Pilot

A helicopter pilot has been killed after he walked into the aircraft's spinning rotor while giving rides at Bloomsburg Fair in Pennsylvania.

Carl Enlow, 69, died after being hit by a blade on Friday night at the US state's largest fair.

The helicopter was refuelling when Mr Enlow went to speak to another pilot, according to fair superintendent Bill Barratt.

Mr Enlow's hat blew off his head and when he reached for it he was struck by the rotor, he said.

"That just goes to prove that anything can happen," Mr Barratt told Pennsylvania's PA Homepage.

"It puts a little bit of sorrow on the last day."

The Birdsboro man had 50 years experience flying and was previously a pilot in the military.

The Bloomsburg Fair is reportedly giving the profits from the helicopter rides to Mr Enlow's widow.

"The fair board is going to do whatever we can to help her with whatever she needs," Mr Barratt said.

Montour County Coroner Scott Lynn said the death was under investigation.
