A pilot on his first solo flight completely mistook a carriageway for a UK airport runway, in what has been labeled as a 'serious' incident.
A unnamed 72-year-old pilot had just a mere 233 hours of flight experience, as he decided he would embark on a flight alone.
The horror incident, which occurred around 7.45pm on January 9, 2022, saw the pilot mistake the bustling A1 dual carriageway for the Newcastle International Airport runway.
