The 94-year-old pilot who has walked away from multiple crashes
Thomas Grant is a lucky man.
The 94-year-old pilot crashed into a paddock near Mosigel on Thursday -and it's not the first time he's walked away from a crash involving his home built replica aircraft.
Grant owns two home-built aircraft, which he flies from his private landing strip on Old Brighton Rd, near Kaikorai Lagoon – about 12km from Thursday's crash site.
Grant, who was not admitted to hospital, was approached for an interview but ‘’he would see no point in it’’, wife Jeanette said, and anyway he had an aircraft to repair.
