Aircraft down near Camden, Nattai NP
Just caught then of of a news flash. Aircraft down near Camden in Nattai NP. Aircraft ditched in the river, both pilot and pax ok and winched to safety by Air Ambulance Rescue Chopper.
Couldn't see what type the aircraft was other than high winged.
Glad all are ok.

its a Jab.
If your going over tiger country, dont do it in a Jabiru, if your going to have an engine failure over tiger country, do it in a Jabiru.

Jabiru J160D. Not good news for Jabiru. I hope the passenger had signed the waiver!
An absolute testament to the strength and crash worthiness of the Jabiru.

Bugger, I see for once someone has been doing their homework, para at end about CASA's restrictions on Jabs and why.

A rotax 912, in a J120 airframe, would possibly be the safest aircraft in the skies..
As much as their engines are given a lot of bad press, the same cant be said for their airframes, almost indestructible.

there are a few, but all homebuilt. with the new regs regarding mods to homebuilts and factory RAAus aircraft, you might see a few factory built rego Jabs no undergoing a few mods to change engine type.
