The plane before the crash.
Wreckage photo taken by Careflight helicopter.
Another tragic plane crash near the Barrington Tops. The reason I've posted these Before and after photos of the crash is to give searchers an idea of what condition MDX might be found in. Would it be intact or like the photo demonstrates, would it be scattered over an area with the wings torn off. With years of exposure to the elements and foliage making it impossible to distinguish from it's surroundings
