We lost a good man down here in Oz...
Fellow Bimmer (6er) driver and whirlybird pilot, Gary Ticehurst died in a helicopter crash outback a few days ago.
I've never met him, but his company operates near here (Northern Sydney).
A crying shame. He went down with mates he loved, doing what they loved- and were so good at. All of them experienced guys with outstanding careers and contributions to our communities.
May they all R.I.P. - with that carton of beer they were so famous for flying into camp with.

I was just running camera on a helicopter, piloted by an Aussie no less. Very talented, serious guy, just like every helicopter pilot I've met. It takes a lot of work to get to his postion, and it looks like these ABC guys were true pros. I'm sure I've seen their work without realizing it. No doubt, it's a risky business no matter how perfect the team. I would guess mechanical faliure. Do you know any more of the details around the crash?
