The FAA is investigating after a small helicopter crashed in Orleans County this afternoon.
The chopper went down around 2 o’clock near the Gaines Valley Airport on Route 237, north of route 104.
The Orleans County Sheriff’s Office says there was only one person on the helicopter. The pilot is expected to be okay, but was taken to Strong Hospital with burns after a bystander helped get him away from the burning wreck and cut off his burning shirt.
