Bush pilots pull off risky remote aeroplane rescue near Derby, WA

Two bush pilots have pulled off a risky retrieval in remote northern Western Australia, dangling a 1-tonne aeroplane from their helicopter and flying it almost 100 kilometres to the nearest town.

"The concern is that if it flies up, the plane can start swinging and oscillating and lifting until it's at the same height as you, and could strike the aircraft, or the sling could strike the rotor blades.”
