Sky News Australia can reveal a reality star known for his outback lifestyle and crocodile wrangling is expected to be charged over a February helicopter crash that killed co-star Chris Wilson.
The warrant relates to a helicopter crash in February that killed Chris “Willow” Wilson, Wright’s co-star in the television series Outback Wrangler and Wild Croc Territory.
Wilson, 34, was on a job collecting crocodile eggs in a remote area of west Arnhem Land when the helicopter he was travelling in crashed on February 28. Last month a court heard one of the NT’s most prominent businessmen - crocodile farmer Mick Burns - was also at the crash site and was “inextricably linked” to the events. Sky News does not suggest, and the court did not hear any evidence or allegations of, any wrongdoing against Mr Burns.
When they reach 2200 hours of total time in service they are required to be overhauled at a cost of about $400,000. Last month police called for any tourists who had travelled in the helicopter to come forward with pictures and videos of the machine.
