Cripes! I'm seeing a very disturbing trend ladies and gentlemen. I don't know if it's a real trend or just bad luck lately but let's all slow down, straighten up and fly right. (I mean that as absolutely no indictment on the pilot or the company.)

Absolutely tragic. My heart goes out to all of the Kununurra crew (whether or not this was a Kununurra mob) and the pilot and pax' friends and family.

What a terrible loss. Must have been a very, very sombre night around the table at the Heliwork Bellburn camp.

RIP. :(
