Cessna pilot taken to hospital in a critical condition
The pilot of of the light aircraft involved in this morning's mid-air crash with a helicopter has died of his injuries this evening ..

very sad ...

I believe the same type of crash happened in Australia a day or so ago ...

14th of Feb ...
Two men walked away with minor injuries after a mid-air collision between a helicopter and a light aircraft that left two others dead in a remote part of Western Australia.
The survivors spent the night in rugged terrain in the Kennedy Range National Park after the R44 Helicopter and a Piper fixed-wing aircraft collided overnight while on a trip to shoot feral goats in WA's Gascoyne region, about 150km east of Carnarvon.
