Police said they received reports of a crash at around 10:50am and found a two-seater RotorWay helicopter with significant damage. The 82-year-old man who was flying the helicopter was treated by paramedics for leg injuries. It is thought the man was attempting take-off and landing manoeuvre at low altitude. The incident will be investigated by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau. ** Take off & landing at LOW ALTITUDE??** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
