Two dead from light plane crash South of Brisbane.

Queensland Ambulance paramedics have rushed to the scene at Boonah Golf Club on Bruckner Hill Road in Dugandan, south of Boonah, just before midday today following reports of a light plane crash. On arrival they treated the two passengers for critical injuries suffered during the crash of their Tecnam P92-TD Tail Dragger. 

However, police have since confirmed both died from their injuries about 3.30pm.

Boonah Airfield is a country grass airstrip situated in the picturesque Scenic Rim, just 1 hours' drive south west of Brisbane. The airstrip, 04 and 22, was established in 1978 and it has long been a haven for recreational pilots and aviation enthusiasts. It is the home base of the Flying Tigers Ultralight Club, the Boonah Gliding Club, Airsport Qld flying lessons and Ultimate Aero an aircraft maintenance organisation.

Boonah Airfield is also a valuable regional infrastructure asset for the local Boonah community and wider area. It is used as a base for aerial waterbomber aircraft during bushfires and for medical patient air transport as required.

It is the second light aircraft plane to crash in Queensland so far this year after a plane flipped and crashed on an island resort in the far north Great Barrier Reef last week.
