Tomo Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Tragic! From what I've heard from a guy who heard the mayday call he was trying to get back to 24 but went in before. I'm not sure I should identify the pilot just yet, but it was certainly a Europa XS, 912ULS powered aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foto_Flyer Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Not that it really matters, but just wondering if it was confirmed to be VH registration or could it still be RA? Either way, very tragic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballpoint 246niner Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Our condolences to the pilots family. A tragedy with an explanation yet to unfold. We were just up doing EFIC,s with a student - way too close to home. May everyone please stay safe this Easter break. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shags_j Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Really sad. Too many fatalities in the last couple of weeks. Please everyone stay safe over easter, that goes for both in the air and on the roads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please everyone stay safe over easter, that goes for both in the air and on the roads. Not wrong there shags. It would be great to be able to click on this box, to find no entries.

Guest pookemon Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Headline - "Pilot tried frantically to evacuate before fatal Caboolture plane crash" From the Article - "``There was indication at the scene he was preparing for an emergency landing. It appeared to me that one of the doors had been popped open,'' What an absolute disgrace. Sensationalism in it's typically disgusting form. What he actually did was he unlatched the door to prepare for an evacuation - which is a common procedure when preparing for an emergency landing (depending on the type).
