She Went For A Flight For Her Birthday And Went Missing

31 year old Trista Applebee a joy flight for her birthday in a Soviet-era Yak 52 warplane on Wednesday with morning with recreational pilot Marcel van Hattem at the controls. The aircraft was the same model plane that crashed in a similar location in 2008, claiming two lives.

 Hattem's  body was found on Wednesday, but Trista's body was missing.

 On Friday afternoon on the southern end of North Stradbroke Island Trista's body was found. Offshore search efforts had been suspended earlier on Friday due to rough sea conditions.

Southport Flying Club president Neil Aitkenhead said the conditions had been "perfect" for flying and the aircraft was "very reliable, solid and Russian-built".
The Yak 52 is a training aircraft often used for aerobatics and scenic flights.
