A real shame, I'd seen and admired the Yak elsewhere. Here's hoping for a full and speedy recovery for pilot and pax.
I hear there was a second mishap en route to Evans Head, a Sea Max amphibian hit the water a bit hard near Tangalooma, breaking the fuselage behind the cabin. Not sure if it was a planned landing or if they were forced down, anyone know any more? Initial reports were that 2 occupants got out unscathed.
