A married couple who were light plane enthusiasts have been killed after two planes collided mid-air in a "devastating" incident at an airfield north of Brisbane, 9News understands.
The Brisbane man and woman, both aged in their 60s, were in a Jabiru J430 that was involved in the crash just after 10.30am at the Caboolture airfield.
The aircraft's registration states it was an "amateur-built aircraft".

The second aircraft involved was a Piper PA-25 Pawnee, which is generally used for agricultural spraying.
The pilot of the second plane survived the crash "relatively uninjured", with that aircraft sustaining damage to the left wing.
Earlier Queensland Police Superintendent Paul Ready said officers were determining who was onboard the two aircraft.
"It occurred low to the ground at the eastern end of the airfield," he said.
Ready said the two people that died were in an aircraft that was taking off at the eastern end of the airfield.
The pilot in the second aircraft was assisting police with the investigation.

Ready said it was incredibly lucky the pilot in the second aircraft survived "when you look at the damage on the ground".
Images from the scene show the wreckage of a light aircraft on the airfield and another aircraft with damage to the wing.
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau will carry out an investigation into the crash.
