HELICOPTER CRASHES AT LISMORE AIRPORT

An 82-year-old pilot miraculously escaped with only leg injuries after his helicopter crashed at Lismore Airport this morning.

Emergency services raced to the scene just before 11 to find the two-seater craft on its side, next to the runway.

It’s believed the man had been practicing take-off and landing manoeuvres when the accident happened.

He was treated by paramedics at the scene – the chopper is a write-off.
