Sure don't think he WANTED to land there... but WTF with full flaps??

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.

"Soft" sagebrush? Not.

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.

Read the article.. Loosing control on rollout so powered up to try and go around. Caught the barbwire fence and thats all she wrote..

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

HA... yeah that ground does look to soft for those bushwheels, I'm sure that's why he flipped

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.

Maybe they should quit puting helium in the blimp tires.

You guys need to quit picking on the classic's.
