Noise complaints lead to a vandalised helicopter

After recent noise complaints and a threat to "keep the aircraft on the ground" from one individual, this is what I arrived to at work around midday today.

There's no branches, sticks, stones or any evidence that it was an object flying around in the wind that has hit the helicopter. There was debris from the window inside the machine and 2 large pieces on the grass outside as well.

So it's a 3 hour ferry tomorrow to Jandakot and back in the hope to find a door that fits my machine so I can carry on with my bookings over the next few days.

Police have been notified and so have the local media.

Just speechless that someone will go this far over helicopter noise.


The temporary patch is to stop any rain from getting inside. I'll be flying up tomorrow with the door off.
