A pilot walked away unscathed after the plane he was landing veered off the runway and ended up in a ditch.
Footage shows the Cessna S550 Citation S/II overshooting the tarmac, kicking up dust as it skidded across the grass.
It came to a halt on a recessed service road beside the perimeter fence, just yards from a public road, on Sunday (15 Mar) morning.

The light corporate jet had taken off from Bragança Paulista Airport, Brazil, bound for Jundiaí Airport, where the incident occurred.
The pilot, believed to be the only person on board, exited the aircraft without injury, according to local media.
The twin-engine plane reportedly suffered significant damage, with photos showing a snapped left wing and tail damage.
The jet’s owner/operator is listed as Dubem Business Marketing Eventos e Produções Artísticas Ltda, a company operating in the events and entertainment sector.
The flight is believed to have been executive in nature, as reported by Creatorzine.
The aircraft, manufactured in 1987, ran off the runway at 9:32am, and the strip was reopened at around 12:30pm.
Brazil’s aviation accident investigation agency, CENIPA, has launched an inquiry into the cause of the runway excursion.
