red750 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Two men were winched to safety by the Westpac Rescue helicopter after their seaplane crashed into the lake and sank. Reports say the plane flipped, but photos show it upright. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-08-10/seaplane-crash-at-coila-lake-moruya-nsw-south-coast/101320310 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
