FORBES, Australia, Jan. 25 (UPI) -- A passenger on a Cessna 150 was forced to take the controls after the pilot blacked out, officials in Australia said.

The pilot eventually came to and landed the aircraft without incident.
Paramedics took the pilot to a nearby hospital for treatment. He was listed in stable condition.
