Trial lays bare cowboy chopper ops in croc country

Reality TV star Matt Wright’s very anticipated experiment, the Crocodile country of the upper -end helicopter flight has left the cowboy world naked.

The Outback Wrangler star claimed that he was not guilty of three charges of trying to mislead the course of justice.

The accusations follow a helicopter accident that killed Wright’s friend in February 2022 and killed Willow “Willow” Willow “Willow” in the Northern Land in Arnhem Land.

Pilot Sebastian Robinson, who left paraplegia after the accident, endured a three -day difficult inquiry with a video connection from a wheelchair in the high court in Darwin.

Wright’s lawyers painted Mr. Robinson as a “party animal” using a cocaine that constantly breaking aviation rules, including the connection of flying hourly meters.

However, the jury heard that Wright also matched meters and falsified maintenance versions and pilot recording books and told their pilots to do so.

The jury members were told that such applications were common in the helicopter industry in the region.

Wright also claims that Mr. Wilson, a trainee pilot, has allowed aviation arrangements to control the control of helicopters with non -trained pilots.

Prosecutors claim that Wright claimed that the meters of the helicopters of the inspectors after the accident were regularly connected to extend the flight hours beyond the official thresholds and that these documents were falsified.

The accusations against Wright are not related to the cauldron, and prosecution does not claim that he is responsible for the accident, the death of Mr. Wilson or the injuries of Robinson.

The basic charges against Wright are that an partner wants a “torch” for a collapsed helicopter, lying about the amount of fuel in the machine’s tank, and Mr. Robinson tries to transfer the flight hours from this machine to his own.

The jury felt danger of collecting eggs with a pistol to protect against female reptiles that protect their nests, perhaps a man on a suspension line under a beered line was lowered to the crocodile nests in the swamps.

Senior defense lawyer David Edwardson, the helicopter Croc-Egg on the top of the upper side, in the middle of the dangerous work of each other’s backs “as thick thieves” described.

Mr. Robinson is expected to give evidence of whether family members are trying to force Wright to manipulate the flight recordings next week.

Mr. Edwardson said he had serious reliability questions that witnessed the jury from the family.

Mr. Robinson accepted the use and supply of cocaine, but told the court that he had never been flying when his helicopters were high.

He strongly rejected the helicopter collapsed because the fuel was over.

The hearing has been going on for two weeks, and justice can go before playing Allan Blow.
