I love this bit....
...streams of people headed towards the crash site, shaking their heads in amazement.
“We would have been right there where the plane landed,” Aroona resident Glenn Laimer said.
“We come right to this spot because of our dog and we would have been right there when it went down.... We’ll have to buy a lotto ticket.” :hmm:

Fridays " Australian " reported that it was a Cessna. Of course their expert journalists know that any aircraft smaller than a 737 must be a Cessna . They also know that all light planes have dodgy clutches and that's why they stall so often ??????

I am sure it was a Beachcraft Cessna Cub. The news said it was a Cessna, so it must have a Cessna in it.

You have to love the knob that would have been right there on that spot.......if he wasn't somewhere else. :ugh: lucky his dog doesn't get run over when it crosses the road ......... right on that spot where the car would have been if it wasn't somewhere else. :rolleyes:
