Helicopter pilot in jail in 2000?

On the TV tonight, there was a comment from John Killick, who was broken out of jail in Sydney in 2000 (or was it 1999?) by Lucy Dudko, who hijacked a B47 (flown by old mate T.J.).

Killick said that he had been in a cell with a helicopter pilot, who had given him lots of ideas of how to use a chopper to break out.

I can only recall one pilot who had gone to jail - he had a private licence from 1993, bought an H300 to transport marijuana from his brother's farm near Port Macquarie. He went to jail in the later 90s for smuggling cigarettes across the border without paying the duty on them. Some years later he went down again for defrauding the Commonwealth superannuation found out of millions of bucks.

Maybe it was him?
