A Royal New Zealand Air Force plane performed a forced landing in a field near Ohakea Air Force Base this morning after its engine failed.
There were two RNZAF personnel onboard, a spokesperson said, and neither were injured in the landing.
The plane involved was a Harvard aircraft which the spokesperson said is "maintained and flown by RNZAF for ceremonial and display purposes".
The aircraft reportedly suffered from engine issues and was forced to land short of the runway.
Fire and Emergency New Zealand was called, but they have since been stood down.
