Pilot Mark White was killed

The Plane left Coffs Harbour, Australia, around 3:30pm and was headed for South West Rocks – but never made it.

It lost control within 30 minutes of flying and crashed into the ocean.

One witness told 9 News that he heard the plane before it crashed.

He said: “[I] heard the plane actually go over home, which was very low.

“I knew that’s not right considering we don’t get much plane action around here.

“The engine was very low revving – it sounded as though it was struggling for power.”
