People all over the world have been looking for a plane this month, but there is no news from Malaysia Airlines. Another New Zealand plane is missing. Fortunately, there is only one passenger on board. It is expected that the fuel will be exhausted at noon yesterday. I'm afraid it will be very dangerous!
According to New Zealand's China news network, a light aircraft disappeared after taking off from Auckland, New Zealand, yesterday (25th).
The disappearance of New Zealand aircraft
It is reported that the missing biplane took off from aldmore airport in Auckland and headed for ponui island in the northeast. But shortly after takeoff, the plane disappeared from the radar screen. Only a 53 year old male pilot from Wellington was on board. The light aircraft's maximum fuel carrying capacity is about 300 km (say 700 km) and is expected to run out of fuel at noon yesterday.
Greg Johnston, the head of search and rescue at the local rescue coordination center, said that many reports of sightings had been received from many citizens yesterday. The search and rescue will focus on the areas mentioned and other relevant new information will be considered. Under the search and rescue plan, Auckland search and rescue helicopters will search the coastline of Coromandel Peninsula and adjacent islands, while the New Zealand Air Force P3 Orion aircraft near the Great Barrier Island will also participate in the search and rescue.
It is reported that today, search and rescue personnel continue to search in the north of Coromandel Peninsula and the coastal islands.
This is another plane missing after Malaysia Airlines, which is always affecting people's fragile nerves. It seems that the plane will still occupy the headlines in the near future!
