    I can't even imagine the amount of paperwork that is going to be generated after this.

    I predict that helicopter will never fly the same during the remainder of its service life, as it appears that the Tail section took a hit during its "spin."
    I've worked on fixed-wing aircraft that suffered major main-wing damage at some point and even after repair, the pilots who flew it would tell me how it's handling characteristics had been altered, ever so slightly.
