A DHC-6 collided with a helicopter on the ground at at Saint Barthelemy Airport.
In a very strange incident, a Twin Otter DHC-6-400 collided with a parked helicopter.
The visibility was very good when the Air Antilles aircraft (reg. F-OMYS) was taxiing.
Flight #3S722 arrived from Pointe-a-Pitre landed on runway 27 at St. Jean, Saint Barthelemy at 11:40 local time.
ATC allowed the crew to taxi to the terminal but it look the pilots of the Twin Otter have lost control and the aircraft was partially in the grass when it continued straight forward until the colision.
