As was widely reported on local media, early on Sunday 31 July, Pacific Ibis - Ibis GS-700 Magic ultralight - believed to be 19-7555 - crashed on a private airstrip on a property at Raglan between Gladstone and Rockhampton. The property is close by to the well-known "The Old Station" where the very successful fly-in and heritage show is held in May each year.

The lone pilot on board the Ibis was injured and was transported to Rockhampton Base Hospital by the Capricorn Helicopter Rescue Service Bell 412EP VH-EPR "Rescue 300".
Of interest, the Ibis GS-700 Magic is a Colombian ultralight and light-sport aircraft, designed and produced by Ibis Aircraft of Cali, introduced in 2003. The aircraft is supplied as a kit for amateur construction or as a complete ready-to-fly-aircraft. This particular example, 19-7555 spent some time stored at Maryborough Airport and was recently acquired by the owner who was flying the aircraft on Sunday 31 July.
