Merged:Aircraft Crash - South Coast
Just caught the end of the 1700news on the radio. Heard something about a aircraft crash, I then found this.

Never a good thing to hear happen.
RIP fellow aviator,
Stretch

A poster in the recreationalflying.com.au website forum has suggested that the pilot did a low level pass followed by a pullup, stall turn, stall and nose into the dunes. No idea if this is true but he seems convinced that is what happened.

"....A poster in the recreationalflying.com.au website forum has suggested that the pilot did a low level pass followed by a pullup, stall turn, stall and nose into the dunes....."
Pretty tough to do a stall turn without getting the aeroplane to stop flying.
".....No idea if this is true but he seems convinced that is what happened...."
Let me guess, you could tell by the emphatic nature of his typing huh? Cheers for your input, it will thankfully be quickly forgotten.

corowacomet no idea who you are but you sound like a tool that I lost when working on my plane last week.
Nothing wrong with my post. It was alerting readers to an eye witness to events, that is all; and the location at which they can find this piece of information. I suggest that you might be suited to that kind of forum versus this one.

You verified that of course?
"...and the location at which they can find this piece of information..."
I would hardly call it 'information', actually just idle speculation on an anonymous forum from some two-bit RAAus pilot claiming to be an eyewitness.

Slagging off your source? Good move there.

CorowaComet,
Lay off man. XXX was just printing what someone else wrote elsewhere, and believe it or not, eyewitness reports are integral to an accident investigation.
