Reality TV star Matt Wright fined $10K for flying helicopter from home despite violations, adding to legal troubles from 2022 crash investigation.
Reality TV star Matt Wright was fined $10,000 for operating a helicopter from his Virginia, Northern Territory, home despite a development permit violation and an enforcement notice.
The Darwin Local Court deemed his actions "egregious" and "cavalier," causing disturbance to neighbors, including a childcare center.
Wright, already serving a 10-month suspended prison sentence for attempting to obstruct a 2022 fatal helicopter crash investigation that killed co-star Chris "Willow" Wilson, pleaded guilty to the breach.
Prosecutors alleged he falsified fuel records and pressured others to alter flight logs, though they did not claim he caused the crash.
His lawyer cited financial hardship, noting Wright lost his pilot’s license, air operating certificate, and sold his property.
He plans to appeal.
