TWO people have been found dead after their ultra light aircraft crashed into a ridge north of Charters Towers during a two-week Gulf of Carpentaria flying safari in north Queensland.
Police located the wreckage of the crashed Zenith Zodiac 601 about 11am after a full-scale two-day air and ground search.
Both the pilot and passenger, of Cessnock in New South Wales, are understood to have been killed on impact.
Fellow aviators in the club flyout - involving eleven aircraft - were too upset to speak about the loss.
Club president Keith Rule told The Courier Mail they had ‘’lost two very good friends’’.
He declined to publicly release names of the victims until family have been notified.
He said the flying conditions had been perfect and they were at a loss as to what caused the accident
