wow. absolutely dumbfounding.
Alcohol + ego + no common sense = tragedy.
RIP Australian sky king.
what makes you think he'd be resting in peace?
@@AmandasTrailhuh? Because his mental health struggles are no longer that’s probably one reason .. wtf
He was from NZ.
The other sky king was from Florida but died in Washington he might be from NZ but he was here when he stole a helo and crashed it so he’s our Australian sky king

Whilst I understand it is not the remit of the ATSB to comment on matters of mental health, but I cant help thinking this was the tragic act of a person in a dark place. For all you who have been riggers of moving away from home to chase your aviation dream you know that this phase of your life can be challenging to say the least. Add some alcohol to the equation , another upcoming base change. I can see how he may have been struggling. To be clear this is just speculative.
lets hope I don't become exhibit A in one of these videos one day
Maybe they need to lock the keys away at night....
how did he get the keys , should be question?
Do aircraft even have keys?
They explained he had codes and full access as an employee
@@goobie87 R44s have keys to turn on and off Magnetos that generate a spark for the engine, the same way you would turn on your car.
pretty easy answer, the keys wouldve been left in the r44. its a standard thing on the ga side, to leave piston operated aircraft keys in the cockpit or in office
Apparently he had been sacked earlier
was promoted to a new position in a new job within the company
Had to be a woman involved somehow
