The Bundaberg-based LifeFlight aeromedical crew today airlifted a man to hospital following a light plane crash.
The pilot in his 60s was flying from Gladstone to the Sunshine Coast when his plane experienced engine failure.
He was able to glide towards an airstrip but fell short and landed in a paddock.
The helicopter was tasked at 11.25am to the Gladstone region and landed in the paddock near the aircraft.
The LifeFlight critical care doctor and Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) flight paramedic treated the patient for a head injury.
He was airlifted to Bundaberg Hospital in a stable condition for further treatment.
