Everything has running gags and recurring themes, I know I'm not the only one who's noticed that Resident Evil kills of nearly every helicopter pilot in the series, Here's a list of the most notorious instances.
Resident Evil 0 - Edward Dewey
Resident Evil 2/3 - Brad Vickers (Zombie encountered in 2, Death Shown in 3)
Resident Evil 4 - Mike
Resident Evil 5 - Kirk Matthison and Doug
Resident Evil 6 - The trailer has already shown one B.S.A.A Helicopter crash, and will likely feature more.
I think that this is one recurring theme that oughta be let go, I think it's time that Resi let's a few pilots off.
Tell me what you think.
