A tragic helicopter crash at Bankstown Airport on Friday afternoon claimed the life of a 50-year-old flight instructor and left his 19-year-old trainee critically injured. Dashcam footage captured the Robinson R22 helicopter clipping a power pole before ripping through trees and crash-landing onto a parked car in the airport’s Birch Street car park around 1.30pm.
