A two-seat cattle mustering aircraft has crashed on a property at Eulo west of Cunnamulla injuring the male and female persons on board


Their injuries were reported as "moderate"

The aircraft - type not identified - apparently crashed from a height of about 30 metres early this morning and both were airlifted by emergency services aircraft to a Brisbane hospital for treatment

A Piper Navajo Chieftain operated by an airfreight company running nightly services between Melbourne and Tasmania experienced mechanical problems with the nose landing gear approaching Wynyard


The aircraft circled for about 30 minutes allowing emergency services to attend the scene where a landing was carried out with the twin-engine machine skidding along the runway on it's nose - there were no injuries

Strong winds caused air-race pilot George Giboney to lose control of his high-performance 'home-built' Thunder Mustang aircraft when trying to land at the Reno air-race in Nevada USA

George's injuries were only minor - the final races were cancelled due to the extreme weather conditions
