Overview
- Search teams found the Cessna 210 on Monday morning after the charter vanished Sunday on a short flight toward the Sossusvlei dunes.
- The victims are Silke and Richard Lohmiller and their son Henry, confirmed by the Dieter Schwarz Stiftung, along with the German pilot who worked for Desert Air.
- Namibia’s accident authority opened a formal investigation and asked the public to avoid speculation about the cause.
- Investigators said the operator’s tracker showed the flight until about five minutes before the planned landing, and the low route meant no contact with air traffic control.
- Police located the wreck near Hammerstein, recovered the pilot and two male victims for autopsy in Windhoek, and said the search for the woman’s remains continues.
