Nimpo Lake Logan... boonie SuperCubber
Ouch! Maybe the sagebrush is soft enough that he'll get by without a whole lot of damage if they don't buthcher it while turning it upright. We had a beautiful Fairchild go on its top a week and a half ago on the pavement and I was surprised at how good it looked afterwards. That being said, it will probably need to be completely stripped/inspected/repaired on both wings and the tail has already been removed, but the crane did a nice job of getting it back on its wheels. Not to mention the prop strike...etc...etc...etc
Glad he's OK.

Like how he didn't want to be mentioned but then the giant pic of his clear tail number.

It's hard to soar with eagles when you are surrounded by turkeys
That is a buddy of mine. Pretty sure he is a little bit bummed about it. Has not had the plane for very long. He sent me a photo after it happened , have not had a chance to talk to him about it yet.Info sure does travel fast these days.

Fence 1, Super Cub 0. Sad, but glad he's just upset.

That's the 89th Sport Cub off the line. Bummer to see that, but it's not the first CC I've seen on its back and won't be the last unfortunately.
