- I'm not a pilot but have been lucky enough to fly in Mi-24 Hind, Mi-2, Mi-17, Lynx HAS3, Gliders, GA
Received from a contact in Australia, some uncertainty as to type.
"July 12, 2016 3:28pm AAP
A pilot has died in a gyrocopter crash in South Australia's far north.
The pilot was the only person in the aircraft when it crashed at New Crown Station, about 200 kilometres northeast of Marla, on Tuesday afternoon.
Local police from SA and the Northern Territory were attending the scene and major crash investigators had been notified."
A different news source refers to the aircraft as a Cessna.
Clarity welcomed.
