The pilot of a CareFlight jet is being hailed a hero after he safely ditched the plane into the Pacific Ocean after bad weather prevented him from landing at Norfolk Island.
The Westwind jet was due to land on Norfolk Island to refuel but it flew into thick fog.
After several attempts at landing, Mr James - already on a list of Cleo's 50 most eligible bachelors - ditched in the ocean about two kilometres from the coast.
Mr James and the remaining five people on board escaped over the wing and waited in the water for more than an hour before being rescued by a fishing boat.
