GALLATIN, Tenn. – The pilot killed in a helicopter crash in Sumner County Sunday has been identified.
The Sumner County Sheriff confirms 61-year-old James E. Lee of Gallatin died when his Helicycle went down. An Helicycle is a small, single seat ultralight helicopter.
The sheriff said Lee had just flown out to a friend's house to do a fly-by, say hello and then fly back into Gallatin. He said Lee flew around Gallatin often.
The crash was reported around 3:20 p.m. on Douglas Lane at Flynn Road.
Sumner County 911 received a call that a small helicopter had gone down in a resident’s front yard and burst into flames.
Neighbors knew something was wrong when they heard sirens.
"I start hearing them coming closer and I thought someone's house is on fire or my neighbor has had a heart attack, or something's going on," said Marilyn Hahn.
Other neighbors rushed to help with a fire extinguisher but it was too late.
The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash.
