Kenny Chesney Mourns His Friend Who’s Helicopter Crashed Yesterday
Kenny Chesney shared his grief, after losing a “dear friend” of 15 years.
Helicopter Pilot Maria Rodriguez was one of four killed in a helicopter crash yesterday on St. Thomas, in the Virgin Islands. She was a decorated pilot, who went above and beyond to help after Hurricanes Maria and Irma, flying support missions in difficult conditions. In 2018 she received the HAI Salute to Excellence Pilot of the Year Award for her missions.
Kenney said goodbye in a tender, beautiful post to his friend
