red750 Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 A light helicopter, which appears from news video to be a black Robinson R44, has crashed at Echuca with three persons on board. One was conveyed to hospital in a critical condition, the other two were reported to have walked from the wreckage. Paywalls preclude any further information. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phantom1959 Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 It is a very sad time for local aviators in Echuca. The pilot is a well known local businessman and unfortunately his brother, one of the pax, is in a serious condition. The back seater is also a well known lady pilot, a skilled FW & RW operator. Our thoughts for a quick recovery go out to the three of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
