A pilot has walked away uninjured after a light plane landed on its belly at Parafield Airport north of Adelaide, while a skydiver has been treated for back pain following a rough landing at Lower Light.

 

In the incident at Parafield, police said a single-seater plane landed on its belly about 12:15pm.

 

The SA Ambulance Service said the pilot, who walked away from the scene, did not require treatment.

 

The plane has damage to its undercarriage.

 

A short time later, ambulance crews were called to Adelaide Tandem Skydiving at Lower Light near Two Wells.

 

A man aged in his 50s suffered a sore back following a hard landing at the end of a tandem jump.

Of course it wouldn't because the Jab wouldn't make it back to the field:stirrer:
