A pilot with more than 30 years flying experience has been killed in an ultraligt crash in Lismore.
Wayne Fisher was killed instantly when the ultalight crashed on its maiden flight. No one else was on board.
The plane, an RV12, was approved to fly on Friday and its owner was reportedly watching by the runway as the incident unfolded.
"It’s got about about 100 metres into the air before it collided with the ground, killing the pilot instantly," Acting Inspector Virginia Szaak said.
Mr Fisher was the owner and operator of Spectrum Aviation, a Lismore company that maintained ultralights and also taught others how to fly.
Friends and colleagues have paid their respects to Mr Fisher on aviation forums. "An Icon has been lost. My heart is ripped at the moment," one posted.
All our condolences are with Mr Fishers Family.
