Re: Crash at Plett airport.
What terrible news. Wishing SL a full and speedy recovery and the family of the deceased peace and strength during this time.
Speculate as you may, but nobody knows the local conditions and that aeroplane better than SL. The man has skill.
A pre-festive season reminder that an accident can happen to anyone. Be careful up there.

Re: Crash at Plett airport.
What terrible news - I have to agree with you Miles. Stu is a legend and whatever happened I’m sure was out of his control.
RIP Stu
We will miss you.

Re: Crash at Plett airport.
Gut wrenching - its just not supposed to happen to a pilot like Stu and in such a gentle aeroplane.
