A PILOT instructor and a learner have made a lucky escape after their light aircraft crashed in northern Victoria.
The pair were able to get themselves out of the Jabiru after it crash landed in a paddock one kilometre after take-off at Mildura airport, police said.
The plane flipped on to its roof about 7.45am today AEST.
The two men were taken to Mildura hospital with neck pain.
Perfect example of how to do a wheels up in a fixed gear aircraft!
