Default P-51 Crash Lands....10km from my house.

A LIGHT aircraft with a faulty landing gear has touched down safely at the Point Cook Air Base in Melbourne's west.

The Mustang aircraft landed on its belly, and two men on board were not injured, a Metropolitan Ambulance Service spokesman said.

Emergency crews were called to the air case just after midday when they were advised the plane's landing gear was not working and the pilot would attempt an emergency landing.

Police said the plane flew around to use up fuel before attempting the landing.

The Country Fire Authority sent four trucks and a rescue unit to the airstrip but they were not needed.
