Pilot believed dead after Qld plane crash

A PILOT is believed to be dead after a single engine plane crash in southeast Queensland.
The P51 Mustang replica came down near the Emu Gully airstrip near Helidon, east of Toowoomba, around 9.35am (AEST) on Saturday, the Department of Community Safety says.
A man aged in his 30s suffered minor burns to his legs and smoke inhalation trying to assist the pilot.
Authorities have not confirmed whether the pilot, who was the only person on board, has died.
The crash sparked a large grass fire which was brought under control by 11am.
