It has been a very bad week in Australian aviation. This week 5 aircraft around Australia crashed with 5 pilots dead. This Nav was just what we needed. Noel C completed his Licence and now has a full licence. Well done Noel.
Later in the day I received a phone call to let me know that an Airborne XT-912 had crashed in Darwin and the pilot was Killed. The aircraft belonged to one of my ex students. He had just sold the aircraft to a friend. His friend was flying it for the first time. They were flying the aircraft to another airport to get the condition report. It was believed that the pilot was flying low over his mothers place when the aircraft crashed. His mother saw the accident happen and then had a heart attack. A horrorable week.
