We are still waiting,” said a member of the family who asked not to be named. Also, tough questions have been raised on why the chopper was flying past 6pm, against the strict guidelines of the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority regulations. The ill-fated Bell 505 chopper with tail number 5Y-KDL was among five helicopters operating under KIDL Helicopters and based at Wilson Airport.
