Kenneth Anning, 84, ignored warnings not to fly in the dark before his Robinson R22 crashed into trees in North Queensland.
The helicopters are currently en-route from Townsville in the Top End while the Hercules has transported WA emergency services workers to Broome.
John Orr-Campbell released a statement revealing he was “gutted to the core” to hear about chief pilot Ash Jenkinson’s death.
Angus Mitchell said the “remarkable” manoeuvre meant a “far worse situation” was averted, with all of the passengers in the second aircraft escaping with only minor injuries.
Ash Jenkinson was also the operator’s head of operations and had more than 16 year’s experience flying helicopters. He performed rescues during last February’s floods in northern NSW.
Thirteen patients are being assessed at Main Beach following reports two helicopters crashed into each other.
