A pilot practising for next week’s Queensland State Gliding Championships at Kingaroy Airport escaped injury when he made an unscheduled landing on Thursday afternoon.

His 15m glider came to rest in a paddock between the Kingaroy Waste Treatment Plant and the Bunya Highway in Kingaroy.

“He simply ran out of air,” a police spokesman said.

The State Gliding Championships, which begin with an official practice day on Saturday, have attracted 31 competitors and will run all week until next Saturday (October 10).
