The wreckage of the missing eight-seater Fletcher single engine plane was discovered on a ridge in the Cardwell State Forest yesterday morning. The plane was last seen leaving Ingham on Thursday afternoon. The plane was bound for Tully, about an hour's flight away.
An extensive search for the plane included seven helicopters, three planes, police maritime rescue and dozens of State Emergency Service (SES) and civilian volunteers.
The 34-year-old pilot died in the crash. The accident is being investigated by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau.
