Helicopter fixes RAAF Mistake

Helicopter has had to re-string power line after F-18 Hornet takes out high voltage power line in the Armidale district, Northern NSW, Australia. Jet manages to make a safe landing at Grafton following wire strike.

Nothing like accurate reporting.

Probly was an ultralight dragging a piece of string to allow stronger draw lines that was used as well.
