remote controlled model plane fitted with video camera,flies across path of B 737 ,160 seater,of Virgin pacific blue jet ,landing at Perth airport.,from Melbourne.,believed to be Flight DJ675. Collision or being ingested into one of the engines and causing a stall/or loss of power-isnt worth thinking about. A prank-but oooooooops-what a near miss.Incident occurred about 8am friday,about 800 metres from the runway. WAPolice have handed the probe over to CASA. apparently several persons have named the guilty person,he/she is to be interviewed. see flight stats for this flight = http://www.flightstats.com/go/FlightStatus/flightStatusByFlightExtendedDetails.do?id=157377747&airlineCode=DJ&flightNumber=675 see Perth airport site = http://www.perthairport.com/default.aspx?MenuID=10&FlightType=A&Terminal=D Note-it is a Federal offence to fly a model plane within 5.5km of any Airport,and further not any distance on an airports flight path/runway. . ANYONE who does not realise what result can be when a small piece of metal is thrown into the engine/or into the under wing,should read and learn the following link= http://www.tailstrike.com/250700.htm
