[B]Chopper Missing near Mt Isa[/B]

Lets hope this turns out OK.

A helicopter with four people aboard is missing in the Mount Kelly area, about 100km north of Mount Isa in Queensland's far north-west.

The four-seater Robinson R44 helicopter left Mount Isa airport early on Tuesday with a 28-year-old woman pilot.

Police say she picked up three male passengers at Mount Gordon to take them to conduct a geological survey of the Mount Gordon and Mount Kelly areas.

Initial investigations suggest the helicopter was due to be at the Mount Kelly landing strip by about 4.15pm (AEST) before returning to Mount Isa by 7.30pm.


It did not turn up at the Mount Kelly landing site.
