There was one a few years ago in Sydney in a Bell 47. Started as a charter and then the passenger pulled a gun on the pilot for a prison breakout. I believe that the prison guards shot at the aircraft as it took off, and hit it. Surely the possibility of a hijack with an innocent pilot on board would occur to them or be in their training?

Thats how I remember it anyway.
