Helicopter Pilot Shot
An Australian Helicopter Pilot was shot in Southern Sudan on Thursday afternoon while flying a Bell 212 owned by Gulf Helicopters (Doha, Qatar) on oil exploration work. He was shot in the leg and body, with the bullet from the body shot stopping just two cms from his heart. He managed to fly the machine for 30 minutes back to base. He is presently being medivaced out of Sudan for emergency surgery. all my wishes go with him and his family.
