Unfortunately one of the deceased is a very well known member of our Recreational Flying community here...our thoughts go out to his loved ones and friends

Ah no, my thoughts are with the families.

Always a sad day when one of the community goes down, even worse when it is one you know (even if only online).

 

Thoughts and prayers are with the families in a tough time.

Just letting the mind wander as it tends to do after these sad events. I watched the factory videos on the Super Petrel when they first appeared here, and I could see that it was one fine, and well developed flying machine. I took a quick look at one that arrived at Old Station recently, and it just further peaked my interest in the type. I'm not familiar with Lake Jindabyne, does anyone know what the density altitude would be up there ?............................................................................Maj...

Lake Jindabyne is about 3000ft AMSL and the temp at that time was 7deg and QNH 1026.

Sincere sympathy to family and friends. A great loss.
