Jandakot - helo crash....almost.

Heard a rumour that the Jandakot shark patrol helicopter "almost cut its tail off while deploying personnel". How does this happen ??

Seems like a bit of rubbish in that a helicopter can hurt itself quite so catistrophically!!

Wiley, you need to do some research before calling BS on what is a reasonably-easily-achievable, and always disastrous, event... :ugh:

Wow thats some scary stuff. So lucky that the crew got back home in one piece, not so lucky for the helicopter which I'm told is being pull apart.
