Crashed at Carters Beach on the night of April 22, 1993. The aircraft had been stolen from a hangar. The thief had limited flying experience and was able to land three times. Each time he took off again. After a fourth approach, which was too high, the pilot turned towards the sea where ZK-DBT crashed. The pilot died instantly. It was not established if the crash was accidental or deliberate. Bob Kerr photo This photo was added on 30 October 2023, and has since been viewed 109 times. |
