From inside the airfield, a witness recorded the incident on camera. The footage, which is released by the national news source 9News, showed the jet ultimately landing with its wheels up before gracefully skidding on the runway on its belly.
The pilot fled from the plane unhurt seconds after landing. The aircraft’s airframe sustained unspecified damage.
