Description

Defendant-appellant Kenai Air Service, Inc. (Kenai) appeals from a circuit court judgment holding it responsible for the loss of expensive video equipment, of which Plaintiff-appellee American Broadcasting Companies, Inc. (ABC) was the bailee. The loss occurred when a Bell 206 B helicopter owned by Kenai but hired for the occasion by ABC fell into the ocean while a team of ABC technicians was engaged in filming scenic views for showing during the telecast of a Hula Bowl game. Kenai asserts the trial court erred in (1) excluding evidence of purportedly similar accidents and action allegedly taken to correct a defect in the same model of helicopter, (2) refusing to permit an aircraft mechanic employed by Kenai to give his opinion on the cause of the mishap, and (3) denying Kenai's motion to reduce the amount of the judgment by sums paid by other defendants in settlement of the loss sustained by ABC and its insurer, Plaintiff-appellee Appalachian Insurance Company (Appalachian).*fn1
