the engine wasn't actually running... FTZ has a turbine engine, so when the engine is shut down, the prop will continue to turn

Nafenn - I believe Yorky meant the Ch7 Chopper engine. In the 7 News footage you can hear the helo running. If TVG was denied take-off, then the cammo probably just jumped out on to the grass to film FTZ coming in.
