wow, did they ever hear of going around?

Thats amazing it ended up like that. I started my flight training at that airport few years back.

Huh... A friend of mine was a flight instructor there not too long ago...

That's not a long runway there either... Some friends and I flew up from FL in a Seminole and planned to land there that night, but the lights were inop. We made a couple laps around the pattern, but it was just too sketchy. We wound up going to Orange County instead. When we landed, we found that we had ingested a bird in the left engine. Probably spooked him out of the trees :p

it kinda looks like that's how they're going to transport it. Is there any proof that it actually ended up like this? I just don't see how the front end kicked down so fast as to just completely lose the back end AND have it be sitting on top of the front end.

It's not in the NTSB database yet. It should make for interesting reading.

From what I heard, the airplane ended up on its back, after going off the runway. At the end of the runway (1) before the road, there is a ditch, which the Cessna went into causing it to flip on its back.

Just think about how many airplanes you can fit on a carrier that fold up that neatly.

Maybe they ran out of gas and the fueler (pictured right) is trying to cover-up for them!

Yeah what the heck is he doing pointing a fuel nozzle at the aircraft!
