near miss between model plane and Pacific Blue 737-800 at perth Airport!!!!

On the 20th April it was revealed that a Pacific Blue 737-800 had been involved in a near miss with a model aircraft whilst on final approach to Perth International airport's runway 03. It was alleged that the owner and operator of the model aircraft had took off from a park nearby and delibretly flown the model aircraft with in 30 metres of the 737-800, this has since sparked a CASA (civil aviation safety authority) investigation into the incident. Police and CASA are continuing with their investigations. Fortunately the model aircraft intercepted the 737's jetwash (or more commonly known as wake turbulence) which in turn caused it to spiral towards the ground.

@DiamondPilotDan

This wasnt faked mate. The guy responsible was charged by the federal police and CASA wasnt at all happy.

@sp1tf1re1936 the video is clearly fake. it's obviously CG. the audio is all obviously fake and annoying as well. but anyone who takes a good look at the jet can tell that it's CG. i will not argue about this because i know I'm right.

lets see proof that casa did that

[sp1tf1re1936]

@DiamondPilotDan uh dude, it's a real video. why would you think it's fake? CASA investigated and ended up prosecuting the guy flying the model.

[DiamondPilotDan]

@blueb0g cued up*... and how old are you? and im not arrogant..I dont have the money to fly a lot so all i can do is stay current, im no genius. and im done this bitch-fight with you, you can reply with whatever you want, but im going to not respond and delete all these comments.. you and i have polluted the comments area..

i cant resist saying though ..10 years from now if you checked back on my life, youd be jealous.

[blueb0g]

@DiamondPilotDan You should still know it, and be clued up on aviation safety. And I'm not attacking you on pointing out the video is fake; I'm attacking you on account of your arrogance, your belief that you are better simply because you have a PPL and are American, and comments like "anyone who believes this is an inbred". And young? We're pretty much the same age. You're just narrow minded.

[DiamondPilotDan]

@blueb0g actually the CASA doesnt matter to an american flying around america much.. and give me a break buddy. the FAA and NTSB are much more well known around the world than CASA is. why are you being such a jerk to me and attacking me.. all i want to do is point out that this video is fake. and dont call me clueless, call me young.
