This seems odd to me... why would anyone qualified or not correctly prepare and fly a helicopter, Bankstown to Taree... run out of juice and dissapear without a trace..!
Would they not have the intent to reuse, part out or so with it?
How could someone unknown land a helicopter at Taree depart and blend into the comunity and get back wherever, someone would have had to collect them
Wouldnt any halfwit put it in a remote shed... like its stolen you want it to dissapear
Would somone ex pilot that wanted to get it out their system try such a stunt?
Is their any chance they arnt licenced and read the 206 manuals online? Home simulator with a good setup practice... With the games out where you steal helicopters and fly them, I wouldnt be supprised
Anyhow im in Australia down south and cant believe its been pulled off, any other incidents anyone knows of where a helicopter has been taken?
As a kid i had dreams of being invisable and taking helicopters from the local helipad for my own use... Just loved to be around them
Thanks Simon
