Helicopter crash at Camden Airport (http://macarthur-chronicle-camden.whereilive.com.au/news/story/breaking-news-two-men-walk-away-from-helicopter-crash-at-camden-airport/)
TWO men walked away from a helicopter crash at Camden Airport this afternoon.
Police say the two men were practising take-offs and landings in a single engine chopper before it crashed to the ground about 2.50pm.
One of the men had an injured leg.
The chopper had damage to the underbelly of the craft but the extent is not fully known.
A NSW police spokesman said the crash occurred from a fairly short distance off the ground.
Camden airport spokeswoman Meredith Laverty said the airport was closed for a only half an hour before it re-opened again at 3.20pm.
The fire brigade, police and ambulance services all responded to the emergency.
I'd like to see a crash occur a long way off the ground :p
Unconfirmed that it's a Cabri, but that's the current rumour.
