A FLYING instructor was in a critical condition in Cairns Base Hospital last night after suffering serious injuries when his light plane crashed into thick rainforest near Innisfail.

Bob Harris, a respected Cassowary Coast pilot who runs a flight school and Hinchinbrook Air Services charters, was flying with another local man in a four-seat Cessna 172 when it crashed about 20km southwest of Mt Coleridge about 3pm yesterday.

The other man was taken to Innisfail Hospital with minor injuries.
