I wonder if this chopper was on it's way back to Oakey from the Richmond Airshow?

Defence investigates forced landing
October 24, 2006.
MAINTENANCE crews are investigating why a defence force helicopter was forced to make an emergency landing in southern Queensland.
A defence department spokesman said crews were assessing the Iroquois helicopter which landed 50km north of Roma about 2.30pm (AEST) yesterday.
The helicopter was travelling with two other defence aircraft when it was forced to land near Roma – more than 300km from its intended destination of Oakey.
No injuries were recorded.
The spokesman said no other information was available but a defence department report to be completed by Friday was expected to outline any faults in the aircraft that may have contributed to the landing.
