A GLIDER pilot dived from the sky to help a man whose light aircraft crashed at Gawler Aerodrome in the the second incident at the airfield today.
Adelaide Soaring Club gliding branch chief flying instructor Rob Richter was about 300m above the ground when he saw the homemade single seater plane crash and catch fire beneath him about 3.10pm.
The 50-year-old crash pilot, understood to be retired Cathay-Pacific airline captain Steve Nelson, escaped the crash with minor injuries.
