From the AustralianThe Australian
“Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) has launched an investigation.
A witness told Nine News they had seen a plume of smoke about 30km off the Landsborough Highway around the area the plane reportedly crashed.
Investigations into the incident are ongoing.
No aircraft has yet been found.
It’s understood the missing plane is 275 Gulfstream 695A Jetprop Commander 1000 known as a “Birddog”.
The plane disappeared of the flight radar between Mt Isa and Cloncurry after departing Toowoomba earlier in the day.”
VH-HPY matches the type and can be seen on FR 24 in the area at 28000 ft until it slows and descends and then disappears.
