Qld: Black Hawk pilots to resume flight training on Monday

Black Hawk pilots are expected to resume flight training on Monday despite the crash
of an RAAF helicopter west of Brisbane during a mock combat exercise this week.

The defence force halted Black Hawk flight training after a helicopter came down with
eight people on board at Mt WALKER on Thursday.

Six of the eight soldiers on board were injured, but none suffered life-threatening injuries.

Four remain in hospital.

The helicopter from the Oakey Army Base clipped trees and crashed into a paddock.
