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

    That's quite a well known picture in the UK. The aircraft is G-CDRM a RV-7A the crew recieved only minor injuries. This is the link to the AAIB report:

    All modern aircraft have four dimensions: Length, Width, Height and Polotics. The TSR.2 simply got the first three right

    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....
    Basic Flying Rules: "Try to stay in the middle of the air. Do not go near the edges of it. The edges of the air can be recognized by the appearance of ground, buildings, sea, trees and interstellar space. It is much more difficult to fly there."
