The 22-year-old pilot, who lost his life in an aircraft crash in South Australia’s outback, was described as a carefree young guy just starting out in his career.
Adam Snell lost his life yesterday morning at 9.30 a.m. when the light aircraft he was piloting crashed approximately 800 miles from Adelaide.
“He is and always will be our boy,” stated Alison, Snell’s mother.
The 22-year-old received his degree from New Zealand’s aviation school last year.
His dream of becoming a professional pilot and touring the world began with his move to the outback.
“We remember him that way because he’ll never grow old,” Mrs. Snell remarked.
His mother was clinging to her recollections of his grin that stretched a mile.
“Everyone loved him, he was a really happy-go-lucky, easy-going guy,” she continued.
“He had a strong moral compass, he knew what was right.”
The reason of the crash is being looked into by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau.
It stated that flying at low altitude during farm operations, such as mustering, may pose concerns.
“The reality is when you are low and at slow speed, if something does go wrong then you have very little opportunities to rectify that, and that does seem to be the case in this instance,” Angus Mitchell, the ATSB chief commissioner, stated.
