View Full Version : Crash in Sydney
Anyone know and details about a crash/roll over in Sydney yesterday?
I think it was at Bankstown while doing a TIF in a 22.

from the short bit I saw on the Ten news.
Instructor and student walkled away without injuries... main cause being a gust of wind.
Seems it went over onto its RHS, one of the main rotor blades bending up and back on itself. Since it didnt lose its blades, is this indicative that it wasnt turning very fast?
Tailboom snapped lose aft of cabin.
rego HFJ, seems like it was fairly new (registered 19 April 2002)

One of Bankstown Helis' fleet, anyone know ?
Glad to see both got away with it - I remember seeing the news footage after Jason had a contre-temps some years ago !
G'day Nr,
One of Bankstown's I believe, check this out:
