AT502
6th Jan 2005, 22:56
I have had reports this morning of an accident near Dirranbandi QLD of an AT802 involved in a fatal accident. The pilot was Graham Bruce from WA, he was working at Bourke for the cotton season. I don't know many more details at this stage.
A AT502 was also involved in an accident near Wee Waa this morning spraying cotton, the pilot walked away unharmed. Details are not clear on this accident either.
It is always a sad day for aviation to loose one of its own.
