numptie Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I just saw on a seven news break that there was a Gazelle that crashed on a private strip near Denman in NSW. Just wondering if anyone has heard anything about it or seen a report. I've checked the news websites and haven't found anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Decca Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Succesful forced landing Have just spoken to Destiny Flyer (after a few worrying seconds). Dexter & his Px are ok after some First Aid. But that will be Destiny's job to tell us about when he can get back on our forums. The Gazelle is a write-off, however, but at least we can all be thankful that there are no critical injuries, thanks to Dexter's airmanship & presence of mind. Thanks for alerting us, numptie. Regards, Decca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spin Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Ah no, never met Destiny but his name jumped to mind as soon as I heard the location. Sorry to hear about the aircraft, but very relieved that crew and pax ok. Thanks for the update Decca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slartibartfast Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Hi Dexter. Many condolences for the plane. So glad you're both OK though. Sounds like a major feat of piloting. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Damage. These experiences are mind altering episodes. Glad you're OK. Hope you can tell us about it (when you are ready). Something on the plane may be of some use, but it is secondary to your welfare. Cheers Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 As Nev says - every one of us is more glad to hear that you and your pax are ok Mate - but also sorry to hear about the Gazelle but then an aircraft is always replaceable - hope you get back up in the air really soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
country kid Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 thats great that ever one is ok pitty about the plane but rather a smashed up plane than a fatality, good to see every one getting behind people who have had some trouble, hope everything goes well for you dexter.

planedriver Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Hi Dexter. The outcome may not have been quite as you had wished, but it sounds like your actions saved the bacon of yourself and pax, which is the main thing. News such as this, has an impact on all your mate too, thats obvious by all the replies. Kind Regards Planey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Great post Dexter. Congratulations on that and commiserations on the rest of it. Regards Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Thanks Dex - no one can criticise anything as who knows what any one of us would have done unless put in the absolute exact same situation - you picked a course of action within split seconds and walked away...that means you made the right decision. Thanks again for telling us all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pudestcon Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Thanks very much for your account of what happened DF. It can be nothing but a learning exercise for all of us, and at the very least cause for some deep thought. Pity about your aircraft now in bits but it happens eh? It would be good to learn of the cause for the loss of engine power. Cheers, Pud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
