Plane vs Helicopter Collision at Carlisle | Harrisburg News

A small plane collided with a state police helicopter during a training exercise at Carlisle Airport, killing pilot Paul Sokoloski and injuring two troopers. The Cessna veered into the helicopter’s tail rotor as it hovered near the runway — a crash that left the helicopter wrecked and sparked fears of fire. Both injured officers, Corporal Bryce Korman and Trooper Jason Mills, were trapped initially but escaped thanks to quick thinking and bystander aid. Korman has since been released; Mills remains hospitalized in stable condition. Officials are now investigating the cause, with no air traffic control tower at the airport to help explain what went wrong.
