Wilfred Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Heck Airfield Based Ultralight Nose-Dives into Paddock - Pilot Sustains Minor Injuries November252006 Police and Emergency Services were called to an aircraft crash at Jacobs Well in SE QLD after a ultralight nose-dived into a cane paddock The aircraft had just taken off from nearby Heck Airfield - a popular sport and recreational aerodrome - when the mishap occurred - the pilot received only minor injuries and was taken to hospital for treatment Up until a few years ago the Heck Airfield was a small and almost insignificant airport supported only by a handful of recreational and home-builder pilots Recent upgrades and lengthening of the main runway have turned this once sleepy cane paddock on the edge of Moreton Bay into a thriving busy and progressive airport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
River Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Never good to see items listed in this section... Believe the aircraft involved according to other media reports was a Corby Starlet. Sincerely hope the pilot has no serious injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
