This one scared the bajeebers outa me....As my mate and CFI owner and operater of falcon hawk airfield/training facility lives in Boxwood victoria, and is the same age as the pilot killed,lives on same rd ect..ect.... I made the call and was told what happened. such a tradgedy shouldn,t happen and heres a warning to ALL pilots .stop flying low ,,and in the dark?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My ol mates, Jim n'Kay CFI',s next door nieghbour departed Moorabin and flew his Cessna to his private strip at boxwood VIC(Benalla).He was heard flying over at around 6:18pm
He proceeded his ussual rutine of over flyng his house to let his family know he was home, He did this twice coming down low(very low)
and buzzing his house, his wife and 4 children then came out to greet him on touch down however he then miss calculated his approach striking his trees resulting in the plane hitting the ground verticle killing him instantly, unfortunatly with his family witnessing the event.....RIP and massive condollences.
CASA were on the scene..... by the way He was (as in most cases) very exspierienced.
