A teenage pilot has been killed when the light aircraft he was flying crashed in south-west Sydney, destroying the plane.
The 16-year-old boy reportedly lost contact with air traffic control shortly after radioing for permission to land about 3pm on Wednesday, near Camden in Sydney’s south-west.
Another pilot flying overhead saw the debris and called it in.
“I think we’ve got a plane on the ground here Dennis … It’s not looking good,” the co-pilot was heard saying in radio audio obtained by Nine.
“Dude, it doesn’t look like an airplane, unfortunately.”
