the Parkies were intimately involved and regularly operate from their own helipad at blackheath. Their old chief pilot had considerable input into stopping restricted airspace being imposed for environmental reasons after the greenies tried to influence operations after a seaking low flying sortie.
Catseye,
Agreed, and re. the greenies demands, so were others, but when you ring the Parks phones, it is not the guys from the flying unit you get.

Ejextx3,
If you stick to the rules on heights to fly, you will not hit wires --- low flying is plain dumb, it is a fact that a number of dams around NSW have bodies of dumb pilots ans their passengers as their last resting place.

If you don't ever go low flying, you ain't gunna to die in a low flying accident -- as so many have done.

Tootle pip!!
