Cessna ditches in Melbourne

 

Two men have escaped injury after their Cessna light plane made an emergency landing on a golf course next to Moorabbin Airport in Melbourne's south-east.

 

Police say the two-seater plane was on a training exercise when it was forced to land on the Capital Golf Course around 12:30pm AEST.

 

The pilot and trainee were treated by paramedics on the scene before being released.

 

No damage was done to the plane.

Bugger....

 

I'm glad the crew are OK, but wonder what the issue was for them.

 

The Melb Age and the Sun said it was a Cessna 152, but the prize of the week has to go to the copywriters at the Hun for their headline;

 

Birdie on the 12th a surprise
