N16-125 / (9)10 (cn WA796) Very early arrival at the Heli-Pacific 2008. The downdraft from the rotors was quite incredible with one barely able to take a steady photograph! |

N16-238 / (9)20 (cn WA929) A Sea King operated by 817 Sqn does a handling demonstration at the 'Phillips Sky Fest' at Canberra Airport in 1986. This aircraft was acquired in 1983 as an attrition replacement for five Sea Kings lost at sea in 'Ditchings' between 1975 and 1979! (Codes 01, 03, 04, 06 and 08). I flew from Nowra to Canberra in Sea King N16-100 on 14July1977. As 'Shark 02', that aircraft crashed at Nias Island Indonesia on 02Apr2005. |

N16-100 / (9)02 (cn WA788) On 21June2007, the RAN released the Board of Inquiry Report on the crash of Sea King 'Shark 02' at Nias Island Indonesia on 02April 2005. The crash tragically claimed the lives of nine ADF personnel (and two personnel survived the crash). Sincere condolences are extended to the families of the personnel involved. Photo shows an In-Flight Cockpit View in the same helicopter, flying between NAS Nowra (NOA) and RAAF Fairbairn ACT (CBR) in July 1977. The 70 NM flight took 1.0 hours in strong gusting headwinds. |
