Aviation investigators are probing the authenticity of an online video clip showing a model plane passing within metres of an airborne Virgin Blue passenger jet.
According to a report in The Australian, the YouTube footage, set to music from the movie Top Gun, purportedly shows the camera-equipped model about 30 metres from a Melbourne-Perth flight.
Australia’s Civil Aviation Safety Authority has confirmed it is investigating the “near-miss”, with the assistance of leads from the Western Australian police.
