TWO men have been injured after crashing a light plane into trees near Maitland, in the NSW Hunter region.
Police say the men, a 20-year-old pilot and a passenger in his early thirties, were practising take-offs and landings from an aerodrome at Luskintyre about 11.30am."Witnesses have reported the plane experienced difficulties before it narrowly missed houses and crashed into trees," police said in a statement.
The men have been taken to John Hunter Hospital for checks.
