• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Disturbing picture, hope they made it.

And that is why you never let your airplane learn to break dance. Once they learn to spin on their heads.....

Parking getting to be a little tight at this airfield, you gotta do it like this?:mixedsmi:
 
Looks a bit more dramatic than it was. Scratches and bruises. Perspective of this photo makes it appear as though the airfield is really tight, which it was not. Pilot did not stay light in the nose in this case on a turf field and let the nose strut dig in. As a result Van's did a modification of that strut to provide a bit more leeway. My buddy has the kit but has not bothered with the mod. His point being that even with the mod this pilot would still have flipped.

In actuality the forward momentum of the aircraft was almost dissipated.....almost.

Parking wasn't that tight! Could have gone parallel at least....
